The new Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Sauda Said Rajab, is to take over the top post in the airline later next month, to become the first woman airline executive in Tanzania’s airline industry history. A report from Precision Air’s head office in the Tanzanian capital city of Dar es Salaam said that Ms. Sauda worked with Kenya Airways, where she served in different capacities for the last 23 years, the most recent being as the General Manager in Kenya Airways Cargo Department. With rich experience in Sales and Operations in the airline industry, she will bring in a new vision and management style to grow the airline amid competition to much greater heights, the report said. Before his voluntary retirement, Mr. Kioko steered Precision Air to greater heights of growth and achievements. Precision Air is currently operating with 12 aircraft consisting of a fleet of ATR equipment and Boeing 737-300 air planes, making it a leading schedule airline in Tanzania. Its current flights cover most key towns in Tanzania, East Africa, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Lubumbashi in Congo.

The airline leased a single Boeing 767-200 1991/1992 from Ethiopian Airlines but this aircraft was too large and the airline had to dispose it.
