Following a meeting of the Board of Directors in late February, the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Authority has reviewed and adjusted 2009 legislation governing the liberalisation of ground handling services, including aviation fuelling, in Tanzania. The changes affect airports in Dar Es Salaam, Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Arusha.
According to the review, Dar Es Salaam's Julius Nyerere International Airport will have provision for five (5) Aviation fuel service providers.
"However, the Board noted that although two (2) third party ground handling companies were authorised in 2009 at Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA), the second third party ground handling company has not yet been concessioned. It is therefore the expectation of the Board that the second independent ground handler will come on board before the end of 2013."
