Dar es Salaam. The Controller and Auditor General (CAG) has revealed that four Airbus A220 aircraft belonging to Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL) were grounded for extended periods—ranging from 279 to 721 days—as of June 30, 2024.
The findings, presented in the Annual Audit Report for Public Entities for the 2023/2024 financial year and tabled in Parliament on April 16, 2025, raise serious questions over aircraft procurement decisions, maintenance oversight, and long-term operational planning at the national carrier.
