Tanzania Government Flight Agency (TGFA) has signed a purchase agreement for a DHC OEM Certified Refurbished Dash 8-400 aircraft. This was announced by De Havilland Canada at the just concluded Farnborough Airshow.

“The addition of a De Havilland Canada OEM Certified Refurbished Aircraft to the TGFA fleet provides continuity to the TGFA’s growing national airline program.” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for De Havilland Canada. “We are proud that we will see another Dash 8 aircraft in Tanzania, where the aircraft is ideally suited to support the development of domestic air travel.”
