      Zanzibar Plans Its Own National Airline to Unlock Direct Tourism Flows: Minister

      🇹🇿✈️ The lack of direct routes forces visitors to rely on connecting flights and charter services, limiting the islands’ tourism potential, Minister for Labour and Investment Shariff Ali Shariff said.

      💰 The government is in preliminary talks with potential investors to form a consortium for the proposed airline, Shariff noted.

      The plan is reportedly part of a broader push to diversify the economy, showcased at the upcoming Zanzibar Investment Summit 2026, which will highlight projects in infrastructure, ICT, real estate, blue economy, and industrial development.
