President Museveni has confirmed government plans for acquiring two air-buses, one in December 2020 and another one in January 2021 on May 6 when he was delivering state of the nation address at Serena Hotel.

He said that these big sized planes are will be helping Ugandans to have inter-continental flights to a few high volume destinations of travelers to and from Uganda.

“Ugandans like travelling. Each year, they were donating US$450million to other countries through foreign travel,” the president said.

He added that this is a move to solve the issues of air-transport and boast the transport sector at large.

“There was a lot of inconvenience to travelling Ugandans by not having direct flights and even being charged discriminatively airfares. Since Banks were wasting our time, we paid cash,” he added.

Two air-crafts bombardiers were received in April 2019, and Mr. Museveni highlighted that two more Bombardier CRJ900s are expected in July and September.

“These will be for regional travels. Recruitment of key staff for the National airline is completed,” he added.
