Musoma, Shinyanga airports set for take-off as aviation upgrades near completion

Musoma/Shinyanga. Tanzania is poised to strengthen regional connectivity and unlock fresh economic opportunities as the rehabilitation of Musoma and Shinyanga airports enters its final phase, marking a major step in the government’s drive to modernise the country’s aviation infrastructure.

Commercial passenger flights are expected to resume at Musoma Airport in July 2026 after an eight-year suspension, while Shinyanga Airport is on course to become fully operational later this year following the successful completion of critical flight tests and infrastructure improvements.
