Uganda Airlines has dismissed recent media reports alleging irregularities in its ongoing fleet acquisition process, calling the claims speculative and unfounded.

“The fleet acquisition project is presently under the purview of our shareholders, operating through a constituted inter-ministerial Fleet Team. Given the nascent stage of these deliberations, any assertions of procedural irregularities are without merit,” the airline stated.
The airline emphasized that no final decisions have been made regarding the type of aircraft to be acquired.
It noted that definitive communication will only be issued once the process is complete and officially approved by the shareholders.
