Fleet

Uganda Airlines (IATA: UR, ICAO: UGD) is Uganda's flag carrier, established in 2018 and commencing commercial operations in August 2019. The airline is based at Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's primary hub for both domestic and international connectivity across East Africa and beyond.

The network radiates from Entebbe, connecting regional capitals and key business hubs. Uganda Airlines operates a balanced fleet combining narrow-body and wide-body aircraft: the Airbus A320 and Bombardier CRJ900 handle regional and shorter routes, while the Airbus A330 and Boeing 787 provide capacity and range for longer international services. This mix reflects a strategy to serve both regional frequency and intercontinental demand.

The airline operates the frequent-flyer program Craneflyer, offering loyalty benefits to regular passengers. As Uganda's national carrier, Uganda Airlines plays a strategic role in the country's air transport infrastructure and economic connectivity.
