Uganda Airlines (UR) has signed with Boeing to acquire 10 new aircraft, a new strategy for the national carrier to expand its fleet and move away from Airbus.该协议是在坎帕拉州议会大厦举行的仪式上签署的,并由总统约韦里·穆塞韦尼见证。

乌干达航空公司与波音公司确认新的合作伙伴关系

乌干达航空公司首席执行官 Girma Wake 确认该交易包括:

  • 八架客机:四架 737 MAX 支线喷气机和四架 787 梦想客机长途宽体客机。
  • 两架货机:一架波音 767 和一架波音 737。
  • 美国国务院非洲事务局在社交媒体上发帖祝贺波音公司和乌干达航空公司:

    “B787 Dreamliner 和 B737 Max 飞机。”

    The partnership with Boeing is to include technical expertise, training, and capacity building to support the airline’s growth, the Boeing’s Vice President of sales, Ambessie Yitbarek commented. The airline stated the move is also designed Uganda into a major giant for regional aviation and to increase the carrier’s ability to swerve regional, continental and intercontinental markets.

    波音公司的新投资将促进贸易和旅游业

    乌干达2040年愿景是一个国家发展蓝图,旨在将该国转变为现代社会。这一伙伴关系旨在与该计划保持一致,以帮助促进贸易、旅游、农业和矿产的增长。 In December 2025, Uganda’s parliament approved UGX 422.26 billion ($119 million) in funding for the 2025/26 fiscal year for the two B787 passenger aircraft, one Boeing freighter and two mid-range Airbus aircraft (A320-200Ns or A321-200Ns).

    随着乌干达不再使用空客,预算还将用于相关的桥梁租赁成本。乌干达航空发言人表示:

    “事情发生了变化。”

    The airline has spent years choosing a mid-range aircraft to fill the gap between its two 258-seater A330-800Ns and four 76-seater CRJ900LRs, which face capacity and baggage limits on routes in airports such as Johannesburg.
