Uganda Airlines has signed an order with Boeing for 10 aircraft, splitting the package between eight passenger jets and two freighters. President Yoweri Museveni witnessed the signing at State House Entebbe on 10 June, as the carrier moved to reset its fleet for longer-haul and cargo flying.
The deal is valued at Shs3.7 trillion and reportedly combines four Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, four 737 MAX narrowbodies, one 767 converted freighter and one 737 Boeing Converted Freighter. That mix gives the airline range for intercontinental services, feed for regional routes and a dedicated cargo element, all under one procurement cycle.
Boeing is also set to provide training and technical support, extending the transaction beyond airframe supply. The order pushes Uganda Airlines into a more complex operating profile and gives it the assets to build network density as delivery slots open.
