Uganda Airlines has confirmed a change at the top, with a new chief executive officer taking charge of the national carrier. The move marks a shift in leadership as the airline looks to strengthen its operations and long‑term direction.
The appointment comes as the government reviews the airline’s performance and future strategy. Officials believe new leadership will help improve decision‑making and align the airline’s goals with national aviation priorities.
Uganda Airlines has been steadily expanding its regional and international presence, but like many carriers, it continues to face challenges linked to costs, competition, and operational efficiency. Leadership changes are often seen as a way to bring fresh ideas and renewed focus.
The new CEO is expected to concentrate on stabilising operations, improving financial performance, and supporting the airline’s growth plans while maintaining service standards.
The transition signals Uganda’s intention to keep its national airline on a structured path as it navigates a competitive African aviation market.
