All East African countries are poised to have national carriers by the end of this month as Uganda prepares to receive its first fleet this month.
According to the Daily Monitor, the first aircraft purchased by Uganda Airlines will arrive in Entebbe on April 23 in what will mark the revival of the country’s national carrier.
The move is expected to heighten competition in the region’s aviation industry as airlines jostle for customers.
“The first of Uganda Airlines’ Bombardier CRJ900 will touch down at Entebbe International Airport at 3pm. It will mark the official revival of the national flag carrier,” reports the Daily Monitor.
