“Uganda Airlines will be the first airline in Africa to operate an atmosphere cabin that offers more comfort to the passengers, more Cabin space, better lighting to the aircraft and many more.”
The Ssebos and Nyabos are even using big words to scare people about the new birds. Anyway, congratulations to them.
Uganda Airlines expects to add two Airbus A330-800 Neo by 2020.
So in Eastern Africa we now have national carriers in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia. I am not sure how big the cake is to sustain all these carriers.
Meanwhile, we are waiting for KQ to announce a 5 billion loss this week.
Siamki bado. Apart from Ethiopian Airways hawa wengine are non-starters. Rwandair for example flies to NBO kujaza watu ndio irudi KGL then flies to DXB. On the return flight, they land at Mombasa (with Kenyans on board) then proceed to Kigali and then wakenya wanaletwa Nairobi. A triple 777 would dictate that they do a long haul flight mara moja sio kuhop hop kama dede
Kuhop kama dede is part of airline business as long as they have fifth freedom rights. In fact, that’s what best for business. Ethiopian airlines also does the same.
I find them more comfortable, with less noise and smooth ride, including landing and take off than these other planes like the Embraer or Boeing 737-300
