Dar es Salaam is served mainly by Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), the city’s primary international gateway and busiest airport, and the smaller domestic-focused Dar es Salaam - Kisarawe (formerly known as Mwananyamala or other minor airfields) used mainly for local connections and general aviation. Julius Nyerere typically handles most long-haul and regional carriers, including full-service and low-cost airlines, and can be perceived as midrange to affordable depending on season and route. The airport sits about 12–15 km north of the central business district; road transfers usually take 25–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hail, costing roughly USD 8–20 depending on traffic, while airport shuttles and private transfers may be slightly pricier. Pros: direct international links, modernizing terminals and a wide choice of carriers. Cons: traffic to the city can be heavy at peak times and onsite services may vary by terminal.

Arusha is served mainly by Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO), a regional gateway that handles international safari traffic and some domestic flights; smaller Arusha Airport (ARK) caters to light domestic and charter services. JRO typically hosts full-service carriers and a mix of regional/low-cost operators, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on season. JRO sits roughly 50–60 km from Arusha town center; road transfers by shuttle or taxi usually take 45–75 minutes and can cost roughly $15–40, while private transfers and rental cars are also common. Pros: more flight choices and basic passenger facilities; cons: longer transfer time and occasional congestion. ARK is closer and convenient for short hops but has limited services and fewer amenities.
