Uganda Airlines will have to wait even longer to take to the skies after engine maker Rolls-Royce announced potential delays in delivery of their new Airbus A330eo aircraft. Another regional carrier, RwandAir, will have to wait too.
On Monday, the Airbus engine maker said there were potential delays in delivering the Trent 7000 engines to be fitted in the kind of aircraft Uganda Airlines and RwandAir have ordered, due to early-stage production ramp-up challenges.
