Uganda Airlines faced widespread flight cancellations and delays due to technical faults, a limited long-haul fleet, and crew shortages. The disruptions affected regional and international routes, including Dubai, Zanzibar, Lagos, and London, leaving passengers stranded and incurring additional costs. The operational crisis is compounded by financial mismanagement, including alleged ticket fraud, net losses exceeding Shs1 trillion, and contingent liabilities. Lawmakers and aviation observers have called for greater transparency and improved fleet management.
