We wish to remind consumers of Air ticketing services and the general public of the International Air Transport Association [IATA] payment cycles for Air tickets issued in Tanzania.
The credit period enjoyed by IATA accredited air ticketing Agents in Tanzania is 15 days – and may be reduced further to 7 days. Agents failing to meet payment deadlines will be declared defaulters and denied facilities to issue tickets. Consequently, in order to protect the industry from a crisis arising from potential massive defaults, existing credit terms for air tickets will change drastically and can be also in favour of cash / credit card / prepayments as well.
This is therefore to advise all consumers of air travel services especially corporate entities and Government departments to take note of these terms and conditions. Please ensure that necessary adjustments in payment plans to conform to the new requirements of the relevant agent.
Kindly contact your travel agent immediately to discuss payment plans available in the market to avoid disruptions of your travel plans.
