Uganda Airlines to start operating intercontinental routes
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Despite the aviation industry being hit by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, Uganda Airlines has developed routes in Africa and is set to join other airlines in the intercontinental market by December this year.

“We have been working very hard to prepare for the restart of the airlines. Our plans are still in place, in addition to developing the regional networks of which we have already developed nine routes, we need to do a bit more to acquire the 18 routes required for Africa because we are going to expand the network to intercontinental with the two Airbus A330’s arriving in December,” Mr Cornwell Muleya, the Uganda airlines Chief Executive Officer, said.

He made the remarks on Friday at Entebbe International Airport during the celebrations of the Airline’s first anniversary.

“Despite the pandemic, we have achieved a lot this year, we started as an airline with no name, no identity but today, Uganda airlines is known all over the world as an airline that provides good services with a good plan in a stable country with a lot to offer to the world,” Mr Muleya said.

He said the airline that started with no passengers at its revival, had registered over 75,000 passengers before the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak.

Uganda Airlines inaugural flight was operated from Entebbe International Airport to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya on August 27, 2019.

The airline that was relaunched last year following its collapse in 2001 has four planes with two Airbus A330 jets expected to arrive in this December, to enable the carrier to expand to the intercontinental network routes of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
