Fastjet direct route between Entebbe and Dar es Salaam

Responding to requests from Ugandans and Tanzanians asking for a direct route between Entebbe and Dar es Salaam, Fastjet is now flying between these two cities four times a week.

Previously, those wishing to travel between the two cities would have an approximate 23 hour journey by road to cover the 1,700km distance, with travellers having to journey around Lake Victoria, or they had to fly via Nairobi in Kenya, doubling the flight time and potentially involving lengthy layovers.

With its low-cost fares, Fastjet is making air travel more accessible to even more people with the launch of this route, and expects many of its passengers travelling between Entebbe and Dar es Salaam to be first time flyers.
