Tanzania’s frustration over Kenya’s failure to support its desire for a national carrier burst into the open last week, with Dar es Salaam reducing by two-thirds the number of flights from Nairobi into its airspace.
Tanzanian aviation authorities reduced the number of Kenyan flights to Tanzania from 42 to 14 a week, saying the two countries had failed to reach consensus on Bilateral Air Services Agreements (BASA) that have been under discussion for eight years.
