Uganda has deferred delivery of its first aircraft from Canadian manufacturer Bombardier to the end of March after President Yoweri Museveni opted for domestic financing over borrowing for the first phase of the national carrier's revival project.
President Museveni has also turned down pleas from the Uganda Airlines interim board for a six-month delay in the launch date, insisting that the carrier must take off within two months ending June, a date he agreed to in an earlier meeting.
