From now on, the flights will be operated once every 10 days. Travel time is about 9 hours. The customer of the charter program is Coral Travel,” said Marina Makarkova, the head of the public relations department of the tour operator.

She noted that from November the Royal Flight's geography to Zanzibar will be expanded, and the program will become the most extensive in the regional market.

So, in addition to Moscow, residents of seven more cities will be able to fly to the island by charter flights. The flights are scheduled from Rostov-on-Don (from 9 November), Novosibirsk and Ufa (from 14 November), Kazan (from 11 November), St. Petersburg (from 7 November), Samara (from 17 November) and Krasnoyarsk (from 16 November).

Russia resumed flights to Tanzania on August 1. However, the airlines started flights there only in October, as this route is not in demand in the summer season.
