Around this time, Air Uganda would have celebrated eight years of operation in Uganda. However, its wings were clipped after Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) had the airlines’ International Operator Licence withdrawn last year.
The saga, which lasted almost a month, capped the eventual exit of the carrier by the end of August 2014. A letter written on June 17, 2014 by CAA indicated the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) had found the carriers’ certification process irregular in an industry that was low on surveillance and less compliant to international requirements.
