Uganda Airlines (1984)

Uganda Airlines, la antigua aerolínea estatal de este país africano, volaba con una flota compuesta de Fokker 27 y Boeing 707. Sorprendentemente, la oferta de vuelos en el continente africano era escasa, y sin embargo Uganda Airlines volaba a Dubai y a varios destinos europeos, vía El Cairo: Roma, Bruselas, Londres y Colonia (en aquel momento la capital federal alemana estaba en Bonn, servida por el aeropuerto de Colonia)

La aerolínea perdió su único 707 autorizado a volar a Europa (por las limitaciones de ruidos) en un accidente cerca de Roma en 1988, y dejó de volar al continente en 1989. Tras varios intentos fallidos de privatizarla por parte del gobierno, cerró en 2001. Actualmente existe una aerolínea privada llamada Air Uganda, que solo operar rutas regionales.

Uganda Airlines was the state-owned airline of this African country. It flew with Fokker 27 and Boeing 707 to a surprisingly small African network, Dubai and several points in Europe (via Cairo): Rome, London, Brussels and Cologne (the German federal capital at the time was Bonn, served by Cologne airport)

The airline had a single 707 which was allowed to fly to European destinations (due to noise limitations) and it was lost in a crash near Rome in 1988. European flights were suspended in 1989 and, after a series of failed privatisation attempts, the airline was liquidated in 2001. There is now a private Air Uganda that flies only to regional destinations.
