Air Tanzania

Air Tanzania, the flag carrier connecting East Africa to regional and international destinations, has not announced plans to equip its fleet with Starlink internet connectivity. Passengers flying with the airline should not expect onboard WiFi at present, as the carrier has not publicly deployed inflight connectivity services across its operations. While the airline focuses on rebuilding its route network and fleet modernisation, inflight internet remains absent from the current passenger experience. The broader aviation industry has seen growing interest in Starlink's satellite technology, particularly among carriers seeking to offer reliable high-speed internet over regions where traditional air-to-ground systems face coverage gaps. African airlines operating long-haul and regional routes could particularly benefit from satellite-based connectivity, given the continent's vast geography and developing ground infrastructure. Whether Air Tanzania will pursue such technology depends on the airline's strategic priorities, investment capacity, and assessment of passenger demand for connected flights. For travellers accustomed to staying online during flights, the absence of WiFi on Air Tanzania services means relying on offline entertainment, downloaded content, and traditional cabin amenities. As the competitive landscape evolves and passenger expectations for connectivity grow, the airline may eventually evaluate inflight internet options, though no timeline or commitment has been made public.
