This restriction is based on oversight concerns with the Tanzanian civil aviation authority, not necessarily the individual carriers' operational safety records. For their operations within Tanzanian airspace, selected Tanzanian partner carriers go through an internal safety risk assessment and audit process. Their established in-house oversight includes regular audits, operator performance reviews, and continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with their safety management system
