Uganda welcomes first Airbus
The second Airbus is expected in the country next year.
In an event at Entebbe International Airport where President Museveni was the chief guest, the A300neo that cost Uganda about Shs5 trillion rolled in to a spectacular welcome like a new-born baby.
“This is a historic day in the history of Uganda Airlines. We are excited about the delivery of the new A300neo which strengthens our fleet capabilities and introduces the desired service standards for our long-haul operations,” said Mr Conwel Muleya, the chief executive officer of Uganda Airlines, in a press statement yesterday.
