Uganda Airlines is on track to launch its new A330-800neo fleet by December – to be deployed on three long-haul routes to Asia, the UK and the Middle East.
This follows the roll-out of the first of two A330s on Friday last week, with freshly painted livery.
The airline – both a start-up and a national carrier which launched in August last year – currently only has four Bombardier CRJ-900s in its fleet. It usually operates routes throughout East Africa but has been granted permission to go to Johannesburg.
On October 1, Uganda reopened its borders and Entebbe International Airport resumed operations for international airlines following a six-month closure during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All the country’s national parks are open, signalling a return to business for the tourism industry, as international travellers may now enter the country for leisure and business travel.
Uganda has initiated new airport procedures in accordance with guidelines from ICAO.
