Chinese investors have pressured Tanzania to set up a new state airline to replace the ailing Air Tanzania (ATCL).
The formation of a new airline now is likely to be announced after the end of the national parliamentary session.
Hong Kong-based investor Sonangol International reportedly said it does not want to be associated with the debts ATCL accumulated - allegedly due to poor management, corruption and overstaffing.
ATCL's debt is estimated to be more than US$20 million.
