This is something that can revolutionise my work, said Godfrey Hicheka, a charity director in Tanzan
The launch of Africa cheapest car rental florida s first low-cost airline promises to open the continent's skies to first-time fliers and cut costs for tourists currently hit with some of the world s most expensive air tickets.
If the airline sticks to these plans, British tourists could soon combine safaris in Kenya with gorilla treks in Uganda and time on Zanzibar's beaches in a two-week trip without excessive flight costs.
It is the first time the book early, pay less model has come to most of Sub-Saharan Africa. Passengers cheapest car rental florida used to full-service airlines may be surprised at charges for checked-in bags or onboard drinks and snacks. But in return for the lack of frills, the firm s British management promise base fares for hour-long flights cheapest car rental florida from as little 13 before taxes.
This is something that can revolutionise my work, said Godfrey Hicheka, a charity director in Tanzania, who regularly travels between cheapest car rental florida Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital, and Kilimanjaro in the north, cheapest car rental florida to visit field projects.
Mr Hicheka s 400-mile journey from Dar es Salaam to Kilimanjaro would take 11 hours on a cramped coach on roads with an awful reputation for accidents. Unlike in India or South-East Asia, there are few passenger trains in Africa.
African economies are among the fastest growing cheapest car rental florida in the world, and a lot of that growth is happening in the middle classes, said Ed Winter, fastjet s CEO and former chief operating officer of both Go and easyJet.
But they have simply not been properly served with options to fly to business meetings, to fly home to see their relatives at Christmas, to take their families on holidays. We are here to fill that gap.
Before the end of the year, Mr Winter plans to start the first international flight, to Entebbe in Uganda, and then to Nairobi, Kenya, by Easter, where the airline's second hub will be based. Twelve more leased A319s will be delivered by the end of 2013, he said.
There will of course be benefits not just to East Africans, but to tourists as well, he said. Flights already connect to Kilimanjaro, for visitors attempting to reach the summit Africa s highest mountain.
We know that improved air services are critical to opening up our economy cheapest car rental florida to development, and we can be sure that infrastructure will be improved, Charles Tizeba, Tanzania s deputy transport minister, said at the fastjet launch cheapest car rental florida in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday.
