History
The company was formed in 2007 and began commercial flight operations on 15 November 2007.
Air Uganda is reported to have carried over 70,000 passengers within its first twelve months, with an average load factor of 70% between Entebbe and Juba. The load factor between Entebbe and Nairobi averaged 60% during the first year of operation.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Air Uganda announced plans to start domestic service during 2012. This will require the airline to acquire appropriate aircraft to serve the domestic market. The airline's current regional fleet is also under review.
During 2012, Air Uganda, in its fifth year of operations, began self-handling at its hub at Entebbe International Airport, and was authorised to handle any other airline that chooses to use their handling service. The move will save the airline at least US$700,000 annually.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
“You treat world history as a mathematician does mathematics, in which nothing but laws and formulas exist, no reality, no good and evil, no time, no yesterday, no tomorrow, nothing but an eternal, shallow, mathematical present.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
