Monica Azuba Ntege, Uganda’s Minister of Works and Transport, has moved to allay fears that the name of the national carrier has been patented by private individuals. The government now claims full ownership of the Uganda National Airline Company Ltd.

In documents to parliament, the minister said that the national carrier will have two million shares, with the Ministries of Finance and Works taking one million each.
