The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) and Air Uganda majority shareholder, the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKfed), are locked in negotiations over how to proceed to the final stage that will reinstate its airline operating certificate. The final stage involves an inspection of the operator’s fleet and demonstration flights in standard operating conditions. Air Uganda currently has no fleet since its aircraft have been returned to lessors since the airline was planning to upgrade to newer aircraft. As a result the airline’s return to service remains in doubt. Air Uganda’s international operating licence was withdrawn by regulators on June 17.
