It should be noted that Uganda Airlines was liquidated in 2001 where all operations were with effect stopped. By that time, it was employing about two thousand employees yet it had no Aircrafts to run. One of the two Boeing's 707 had crushed in Rome while the other was declared junk and thus could not run.
In effort to save Uganda Airlines, staff was reduced from two thousand to four hundred and new planes were leased from Australia and Air Zimbabwe but were not enough to operate on all routes most especially to Europe. Many people have cried for its reinstatement in order to ease transportation of goods and people as well as promoting tourism in Uganda which has been earmarked by government as an important sector of the economy.
