Mr.Fred Byamukama, the State Minister for Transport, has presided over the swearing in of seven new members of the Uganda Airlines Board of Director to serve for the next three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Uganda Airlines board members include: Mr. Patrick Ocailap, who is also the Deputy Secretary to the Treasury in the Ministry of Finance, Priscilla Mirembe Sseruka as Chairperson, Barbara Namugambe, Herbert Kamuntu, Samson Rwabwire, Constant Othieno Mayende, and Abdul Karim Omoding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Board Chair ,Priscilla Mirembe Sseruka, highlighted the board\u2019s priorities, including strengthening Uganda Airlines\u2019 growth, expanding its route network, and acquiring additional aircraft over the next three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said the priorities also include a 10-year Corporate Strategy aligned to the NDP IV, reduction in the loss margins, and continuing to strengthen the human resource skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Minister Byamukama, noted the importance of Uganda Airlines as a symbol of the country’s pride and progress, hence its success being integral in the economic fortunes of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Uganda Airlines is very dear to President Yoweri Museveni because he understood that establishing it would provide social and economic benefits by boosting tourism, trade and economic growth,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CEO of Uganda Airlines, Jeniffer Bamuturaki, said that Uganda Airlines has been able to hit full capacity, just three months into the Entebbe-London route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have carried full flights to a point that even the airport operator where we land is asking can you tell us why this is happening? Because it\u2019s too soon for an airline to start and already have full flights. Not one, not two, but daily in the season that we are in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May, 18, 2025, Uganda Airlines launched direct flights to London\u2019s Gatwick Airport to open a new chapter for the national carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
