Looking to attract South African tourists and other business travelers, the state-owned Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) is set to revive its passenger schedule route connecting four major airports in Tanzania with the O.R. These are the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in the commercial capital of Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar International Airport, Kilimanjaro International Airport in northern Tanzania, and Mwanza International Airport on Lake Victoria. South Africa itself is a source market for about 48,000 tourists to Tanzania pear year, mostly adventure and business travelers. Latest official figures show that about 16,000 tourists from Australia visited Tanzania in 2017, mostly through air connections in Johannesburg. ATCL was established as Air Tanzania Corporation (ATC) in September 1977 after the collapse of the regional East African Airways (EAA).
