Uganda Airlines has moved to set the record straight on reports surrounding its fleet acquisition plans, saying the claims circulating in the media are premature and unfounded.
In a statement released by management, the national carrier explained that the fleet project is being handled by shareholders through a dedicated inter-ministerial team. Discussions are still in the early stages and, according to the airline, talk of irregularities in the process has no basis.
“The fleet acquisition project is presently under the purview of our shareholders, operating through a constituted inter-ministerial Fleet Team. Given the nascent stage of these deliberations, any assertions of procedural irregularities are without merit,” the airline noted.
Uganda Airlines added that details about which aircraft types are under consideration will only be communicated once the process is finalized and authorized by the shareholders. For now, the airline is urging the public and media to wait for official updates.
