Tanzania's aviation regulator reported solid improvements in safety and oversight this past year. The authority's director general, Salim Msangi, stated they updated rules, boosted inspections of airports and operators, and tackled hazards like nearby obstacles. These steps reportedly led to safer operations and greater confidence from airlines and passengers.
The agency also highlighted progress in training and technology. Their Civil Aviation Training Centre gained international notice for security programs and develops professionals in air traffic management and other critical fields, though not pilot training itself. A graduate, Pendo Charles, credited the center with enabling her career as an air traffic controller. System modernization efforts included upgraded communications and digital information sharing to support efficiency and tourism. A separate government-funded program helps cover the high cost for Tanzanians to train as pilots abroad.
