Fleet
Regional Air Services (IATA: 8N, ICAO: REG) is a Tanzanian airline established in 1997 and based at Arusha Airport. A subsidiary of Airkenya Aviation, the airline specializes in regional connectivity across East and Southern Africa, operating 13 scheduled destinations with a focus on remote and underserved airstrips.
The airline's fleet comprises five turboprop aircraft: Cessna 208 and Reims-Cessna F406 Caravan II single and twin-engine types for smaller routes, the De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter for rugged operations, and the larger Bombardier DHC-8-400Q Dash 8 for higher-capacity regional services. This mix enables operations from unprepared airfields and smaller regional airports where jet services are impractical.
Regional Air Services operates a network connecting Tanzania and neighboring countries in the Southern African region. The airline is subject to European Union flight restrictions and does not offer online check-in, requiring passengers to complete formalities at airport counters. Contact the airline directly via phone or email for reservations and flight information.
