Dar-es-Salaam Julius Nyerere DAR Airport Overview

The Airport is located in Kibaha, off Pugu Road, and accessible via motorways B2 & A7 (A-14 connects to A7). It is 13 km from the capital city of Dar es Salaam, the largest city on Tanzania, which is situated on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
With two runways and an estimated 1.5 million passengers a year, Julius Nyerere International is hub to Air Tanzania and is served by a number of national and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

A refurbished & airconditioned Transit Motel is only a 5-minute drive from the Airport (tel. +255 022 2842177).
Presently, Julius Nyerere International Airport has two passenger terminals - T1 & T2. (For detailed terminal information, click on 'Terminal Map'.)

Future Airport Developments: TAA is a new agency which advises the government as to airport adminstration, infrastructure, facilities & services. It is also creating a new website for all government-owned airports, which is still 'under construction'.
It is not clear if the expansion project which includes construction of a new terminal and a new taxiway, has been completed or when it will be completed. Upon completion, it should triple airplane capacity to 30 planes an hour. A new VIP lounge is also part of the expansion project. The TAA site will be further monitored for more developments.
