Uganda Airlines will take delivery of an A320Neo next month, under a wet lease agreement. It's not going to be a Neo but rather a fairly old Ceo. It will be deployed on JNB, FIH and LOS routes. Official announcement expected probably next week. I would imagine those routes are all quite long for th...
