“We have asked the new board to come up with a strategic plan and submit it to cabinet so as to get the necessary assistance for the corporation to effectively offer services,” said Minister Kabbyanga.
Uganda Air Cargo Corporation (UACC) is a body corporate primarily established to operate air transport services within and outside Uganda. Since its establishment in 1994, UACC has been serving the whole of Africa and beyond by providing air cargo and passenger charters.
Their fleet of L-382 Hercules aircraft transport all types of cargo ranging from small, medium, heavy and oversized cargo as well as dangerous goods. Whereas the government airline has four aircraft, three of them are grounded. Kabbyanga explained that the limited number of aircraft has incapacitated the airline from operating at full capacity.
