SolitAir launches Dubai to Dar es Salaam cargo flight

Trade ties between East Africa and the Gulf region received a major boost this week with the arrival of the inaugural direct cargo flight from Dubai to Dar es Salaam, operated by SolitAir in partnership with Xerin Air Cargo, said a SolitAir representative. The flight touched down at Julius Nyerere International Airport to a ‘water salute’. The event marked the launch of a new cargo route and is a symbol of growing trade connectivity between the Global South. This is more than just a flight, it is a statement of purpose, he said. By linking Dar es Salaam directly to Dubai, we are opening faster, efficient pathways for regional trade, logistics, and economic cooperation.
