Uganda Airlines eyes Bombardier, Airbus jets to revamp carrier

Bombardier said Uganda Airlines signed a firm order for four new CRJ900 jets as the East African nation seeks to resuscitate its moribund carrier after two decades. The country also signed an MOU for two A330neo, Airbus said on its website, without providing cost details. “Based on the list price for the CRJ900 aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately $190m,” Montreal-based Bombardier said. The carrier established in 1976 was liquidated in 2001 under a mountain of debt. The state is reviving it with a view to improving transport connections and promoting tourism. <br/>
