A new flag carrier for Uganda
A new national flag carrier appears to be in the works for Uganda. According to news reports, the airline, which will operate by the name of “Victoria International Airline Uganda” is to be established in cooperation with South Africa-based Arch Airways, who will own 75% of the airline while the Ugandan government will retain 25%. The airline targets a start date of February 2006 using a 130-seat aircraft, with flights expected to be “within the region” to cities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and West Africa.
