Tickets for fastjet’s flights between Tanzania and South Africa will go on sale on July 31.
The flight from Dar es Salaam to Johannesburg will operate three times a week with the first flight scheduled for September 27.
Fastjet’s facebook ‘friends’ will get first option to book flights on July 31 and seats will go on general release the following day, August 1.
The airline said it expects to add further international destinations including Lusaka, Zambia, to its flying programme in the near future.
Richard Bodin, Chief Commercial Officer of fastjet, said: "For some time the Dar es Salaam to Johannesburg route has only been operated by one airline and the lack of competition has created inflated fares. fastjet will substantially reduce the average fare and in doing so will encourage more leisure and business traffic between Tanzania and South Africa."
