The cost of air travel within the region has risen following the suspension of operations of three airlines by Uganda’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Barely two weeks after Air Uganda was grounded pending reapplication for operation certificates from the regulator, air ticket prices have more than doubled on some routes and queues at bus terminals are longer.
