The recently relaunched Uganda Airlines took delivery of another Airbus A330neo on February 2, completing the first phase of the airline’s revival plan whose target was having six aircraft.

The two Airbus are earmarked to serve on long-haul routes to Mumbai, Dubai, Guangzhou and London, but these plans will have to wait longer following new travel restrictions. London and Dubai have introduced new travel restrictions due to a surge in Covid-19 infections and the rise and spread of a new variant of the disease in some parts of the world.
