Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA) on Thursday launched an online system for foreign registered aircrafts to apply for permits.

The authority said: "The new system is more efficient and time serving. It also provides a best platform for monitoring revenue collection."

"The system will cut short time spent processing applications to a maximum of two hours from the current 48 hours," TCAA Director General, Hamza Johari announced.

The electronic system would also act as a simplified platform for interactions with customers and TCAA, where it provides timely information regarding permit issuance and amount to be charged and payment procedures.
