The public hear is a requirement for air services operators who have applied for new licenses or renew old ones  to make presentations about their operations before they are approved .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the hearing there  were two new company applicants who want to enter Uganda&#8217;s  aviation industry while another  five were seeking to renew their licenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public hearing offered a platform for the applications to  outline their plans for providing air services in Uganda. Each company presented their business plans, safety measures and financial capabilities to the committee in hopes of securing a license to operate in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UCAA  conducts these periodic  public hearings  to ensure that only those competent air services operators are allowed to fly in Uganda air space .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presence of both new and established companies at the hearing highlights the growing interest in Uganda\u2019s aviation industry.
