fastjet delay

Listed on the London AIM Stock Market, and effectively run from Gatwick offices, fastjet, claimed to be Africa's low-cost airline, cancelled its inaugural Dar es Salaam – Johannesburg inaugural, previously scheduled to take place on Saturday (28 September).  (see BTN 5 August)

The airline says the postponement is due to unexpected administrative delays caused by the South African Department of Transport which made a very late request for additional documentation.

Fastjet’s Chief Executive, Ed Winter, said: "This postponement is very disappointing.  Unfortunately however, administrative delays of this nature are not unusual in the markets in which we operate".

Currently the only operator on the route is South African Airways who has a daily service.  Flight time is around 3hrs 30mins.  From Dar es Salaam the airline serves Kilimanjaro, Mwanza and Zanzibar. www.fastjet.com
