Yes very true, KQ was forced to reduce from 42 flights weekly to 14 weekly by TZ upset about a ban on TZ tourist vans at JKIA. Thank God it went back to normal otherwise OP would have cried with so limited frequencies as KQ would have surely increased the fares like it was the case with the demise of Air Uganda on the EBB-NBO.

The BASA on Kenya – TZ allow:
- Unlimited frequencies on any point in Kenya to Zanzibar
- 35 on Zanzibar - Nairobi
- 42 on Nairobi - Dar es Salaam
- 42 on Dar es Salaam - Nairobi
- 42 on Nairobi - Kilimanjaro
- 42 on Kilimanjaro - Nairobi
- 14 on Kisumu - Mwanza
- 14 on Nairobi - Mwanza
- 14 on Mwanza - Nairobi
- 14 on Mombasa - Kilimanjaro
- 14 on Kilimanjaro - Mombasa
- 14 on Mwanza - Kisumu
- 14 on Kisumu - Mwanza
- Any aircraft size


I was wondering the same, by any chance do you know why?
I mean how come they fly to Bujumbura - Burundi for a while, but not on the busy and lucrative DAR-NBO?


While Kenya (along with Rwanda and Ethiopia which are fully cooperative) signed the agreement, it has yet to be implemented there. However TZ should take this opportunity to join the group and at least sign it as it will benefit Air Tanzania in the near future! Not sure from what is the feud from Tanzania towards all East African Community (EAC) in many sectors...
Let me guess - you're a Corporate traveler who doesn't care about inflated fares, in fact the higher the fare classes the more miles earned?
