Overviewedit
Coastal Aviation started out as a purely charter airline in 1987. As of May 2020, charter forms a significant percentage of its business, including scenic and medevac flights. However it also maintains a scheduled service, operating mainly from Dar es Salaam Airport and Arusha Airport.[3] After starting with a single aircraft operating between Dar es Salaam and Selous Game Reserve, Coastal Aviation has evolved into a flying safari airline in Eastern Africa, with a fleet of 14 aircraft and flights to more than 42 destinations spanning Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda.[1]
As of May 2020, the airline employed about 300 staff members. In 2019, a total of approximately 150,000 passengers traveled with the airline.[4]
