The Acting Director General of Uganda Civil Aviation Authority, Mr Fred Bamwesigye, applauded the Uganda Airlines team on the successful completion of process of adding the airbus onto the AOC.
According to Uganda Airlines, the two airbuses are set for long haul flights to London, Mumbai and Dubai, among other areas.
