One of Air Tanzania’s new Bombardier aircraft has been impounded in Canada amid a land-compensation dispute dating back to the 1980s, according to the East African nation’s government.
The decision by Canadian
authorities to impound the
Bombardier Q400 plane isn’t directly linked to Tanzania’s national carrier and is related to a dispute between the
East African nation and a South African farmer who’s seeking compensation for
land he says was taken off him 40 years ago, Foreign Affairs Minister Palamagamba Kabudi said.
The seizure is the second time an Air Tanzania aircraft has been impounded over the issue.
