Partners: 

The most significant turnaround of the airline came in 2003 when Kenya Airways acquired a minority 49% shareholding leaving majority 51% shares in the control of one local Tanzanian businessman. Since then, Precision Air has literally turned its image into a professionally run modern regional airline. 

On the 21st December 2011 Precision Air made history by being the first airline in Tanzania to list on Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange with a total of 7,056 (Seven thousand fifty six) investors who took part in the Initial Public Offering in November 2011.

The airline raised Tshs. 12 billion (i.e. subscribed by 43.18%) most of which were taken up by Tanzanian nationals both retail investors and corporate entities as intended by the company.

The 7,056 new shareholders have therefore taken a stake of 16% in the company. This now means 58% of the company is owned by Tanzanians, 41% Kenya Airways and 1% by other nationals. The anchor share holders, being Kenya Airways and local Tanzanian businessman.

However, the airline also works closely with a number of companies and has code-share agreements with over ten reputable airlines worldwide
