Dar es Salaam Airport (IATA: DAR, ICAO: HTDA) is the principal gateway to Tanzania's bustling economic and cultural hub, Dar es Salaam. Located approximately 12 kilometers southwest of the city center, the airport serves as a vital link between Tanzania and the rest of the world. Officially known as Julius Nyerere International Airport, in honor of the country's first president, it has been an integral part of the region's development since its establishment in 1954.

Positioned along the East African coast, the airport stands as a pivotal access point not only for international travelers but also for domestic and regional flights. Julius Nyerere International Airport manages a significant volume of air traffic, with an estimated 2.5 million passengers annually. Its role has grown substantially over the years, facilitating connections with over 30 airlines and offering routes to numerous destinations across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

The airport features two main terminals: Terminal 2, which handles both international and domestic flights, and the newer Terminal 3, which exclusively serves international passengers. Together, these terminals manage an impressive number of approximately 50,000 flights each year, underscoring the airport's importance as a regional hub.

As Tanzania continues to thrive as a top tourist destination, drawing visitors to its iconic safaris, pristine beaches, and rich cultural sites, Julius Nyerere International Airport remains at the heart of this growth, providing essential infrastructure to support the nation’s tourism and economic progress.
