There are a lot of plane deliveries this year that I'm excited about, like Oman Air's 787 with first class, Gulf Air's 787, Singapore Airlines' 787-10, and Singapore Airlines' A350-900ULR, just to name a few. However, to me there's one aircraft order that stands out, that I've been tracking closely and have been very curious…

We are used to sceptical articles of this nature that are, unfortunately often uncalled for. Next time you release such biting comments, you would better get your facts fully and correct. For your information Air Tanzania has already acquired a new Airbus A 220-300 jet, and another one is due by the end of the year. A second Dreamliner is schedulled for late next year. The Bombardier turboprops you claim are meant for Mumbai are used on domestic and regional flights. International destinations, including China, the Gulf and Europe will be serviced by the Airbuses and Dreamliners. Swallow your vomit and believe!

I have news for you Lucky! I just visited the Boeing factory in Everett WA today, and in the 787 bay we saw tje beautiful Air Tanzania 787. It was in final assembly and systems check stage, and had a gorgeous giraffe painted on the tail (fuselage was still not painted witg livery). It looked like it will be finalised in the very near futute including test flights, with (guestimation) delivery in a month or so.

Despite the errors in the article your overall point is a good one. They could have purchased several other planes for a lot less money that would perform as well or better when factoring in purchase price. Used 767 comes to mind.

I flew Oman Air (new) 787 last week from MCT-BKK, then on the return BKK-MCT, then another one to my final destination to JED. What a huge difference considering two weeks ago my flight from JED-MCT was on a 737 which signs of aging written all over it.

your euphoria for this new airline is not been received well ! I do not know about the others, but it is too early to be euphoric to another no name African airline and receive a TAAG experience! Yes, another new airline, another adventure.. but at this moment, I am sick and traumatized to read your awful experience in a premium class from such kinds of airlines..the TAAG F and MU F experiences just made me realize how good the conventional First Class of Air France and Lufthansa are. Those reviews made me choose the ones I know already and can rely on to have a great consistant service and stop trying new unknow ones for a while..definitely do not need dramas and audacious crew to tell me what to do and how to behave..they should focus on service in which they are paid for in the first place!!
