Uganda Airlines is poised to be the first African carrier to own Airbus A330-800 when two aircrafts on order are delivered later this year. The long haul planes that cost US$259.9 million apiece will join the initial fleet of four medium-haul CRJ 900 jets.
Airline’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr Cornell Muleya revealed this in Nairobi during the resumption of flights from Entebbe to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) on Thursday. He said the airline had identified London, Dubai, Guangzhou and Mumbai for international flights outside Africa once the new aircrafts are delivered.
