Uganda Airlines

Post by quixoticguide »

Artistic impressions of what the new Uganda Airlines planes will look like have leaked. The images surfaced on social media on the heels of Civil Aviation Authority Managing Director, Dr. David Mpanga Kakuba announcing that the airlines will hit the skies again this December.

“Initially it was scheduled for August but this was pushed to December. We are determined to see it begin flying by December,” Dr. Mpanga said while addressing journalists on the expansion of Entebbe Airport that is on-going.

Last month, cabinet approved the airline’s revival.

The revival is estimated to cost $400m (about Shs1.4 trillion).

It is said by locals that the cost is estimated at 800 to 1300 billions UGX ... per year. :mrgreen:

Lots of things are "happening" in Uganda with David Kakuba taking over as acting MD of the CAA from Rama Makuza who has been fired a few months ago.
Same at EBB airport where the director is gone and replaced.

In the meantime in Kigali ...

I don't think they will start with an A340

I suppose a fleet of Dash8-Q400 would suit them fine.
Additionally they might lease a couple of a321neo for longer haul destinations such as lgw and dxb ?
Hope they'll succeed this time, with sound management why not ?
However some form of consolidation of the E-A offer will be needed at some point ...

Except that the lease rate of an A340-300 is probably half of the rate of an A321neo. ;)
