The Tanzanian government has relaxed some restrictions on international flights.

The authorities said that the move is intended to allow some categories of flight movements amid growing demand for the service.

The relaxation will affect repatriation flights, operations related to humanitarian aid, medical and relief flights, technical landings where passengers do not disembark and other safety-related operations.

The Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) suspended both scheduled and non-scheduled international passenger flights into and out of the country on April 11 in an effort to curb imported cases of Covid-19.
