I wouldn't be the first to say 'Africa's the latest emerging market' and when a story comes out that Tanzania has started a budget airline, it shows this continent is demonstrating its economic ability to expand and grow.
Tanzania is one of Africa's most beautiful countries and has a healthy tourist industry. Its new passenger service, Community Airlines, was created to stimulate the economy in the country.
The chief executive is a Mr Paul Chizi said the name is "a reflection of the Tanzanian community - which means it is a true people's choice"
An example of the prices on Community airlines - a single fare from Dar es Salaam to mount Kilimanjaro Airport is 49,000 Tanzanian shillings, around $42 USD.
This airline will be most welcomed by the thousands of tourist's and business people who have to rely on the bus service to travel around the country.
Community Airlines will use modern 118-seat Boeing 737-200s and start flying around June or July.
