Coastal Aviation (IATA: CQ, ICAO: CSV) has been serving Tanzania's aviation market since 1987. The airline operates from its main hub at Julius Nyerere International Airport in Dar es Salaam, connecting passengers across Tanzania and the broader East African region with reliable regional service.

The carrier maintains a focused fleet of twin-engine turboprop aircraft: the Cessna 208 and Pilatus PC-12. These nimble, pressurized aircraft are well-suited to Tanzania's network of airstrips, enabling Coastal Aviation to reach remote destinations and smaller regional airports that larger jets cannot serve efficiently.

Coastal Aviation targets both leisure and business travelers seeking connections to Tanzania's national parks, coastal destinations, and secondary cities. The airline emphasizes reliability and frequency on key regional routes, making it a practical choice for domestic and regional connectivity across East Africa.
