Uganda Airlines leases A320-200 to boost operations
To improve operations, Uganda Airlines leases an A320-200 to boost operations to address capacity requirements during the winter
After leasing a 160-seater Airbus A320 from Johannesburg-based Global Airways in May, the national carrier is now entering a wet lease for the second time in six months this year.
Under a brief wet lease deal with Lithuanian company DAT, Uganda Airlines has added an Airbus A320-200 to its fleet.
The change is intended to address capacity requirements during the winter to help boost tourism.
The A320-200, which has 144 economy and 12 business class seats, will be used in conjunction with Uganda Airlines’ CRJ.
Jenifer Bamuturaki, underlined the significance of this acquisition, pointing to its function in satisfying growing demand.
We are thrilled to share the news of our collaboration with Lithuanian Airlines. We will expand capacity deployment with this new lease to meet the increasing demand on important routes, Ms. Bamuturaki stated.
With the A320, the airline hopes to improve service to Nairobi, Lagos, and Abuja while reducing traffic and expanding tourism.
Uganda Airlines had previously been criticized for using smaller aircraft on routes that were promoted for larger models, which has resulted in complaints about claustrophobic seating and limited baggage space, notwithstanding the positive initiatives taken.
The airline hopes that the A320 will help to alleviate these problems by offering more seats to increase tourism potential.
The lease’s date coincides with the approaching holiday season, when both leisure and business travel tend to increase.
“We look forward to enhancing freighting opportunities while meeting the needs of our growing customer base,” Ms. Bamuturaki said, underscoring the airline’s dedication to enhancing passenger experiences and growing cargo services.
