Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) has heard presentations from seven local airline operators who applied for the renewal of their operating licenses. The airlines defended their license renewal applications before the UCAA board licensing committee at head offices in Entebbe on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had the opportunity to have seven applicants of the licenses. Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA), under Section 6 (2) of the CAA Act Cap. 354 is responsible for the licensing of air transport services. In addition, the Authority advises the government of the Republic of Uganda on matters related to the development of air services such as Bilateral Air Services Agreements (BASAs) and other air transport activities,\u201d said Mr Thomas Kiggundu, the chairman board of the licensing committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been able to hear presentations from; Kampala Executive Aviation, Grand Air Services Limited, AIM Air, DHL Aviation (Kenya) Limited, Eagle Air Limited, Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), and Transafrik Uganda Limited. We are glad that all the seven certified our requirements and we hope to renew their licenses in due course,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Eng Ronny Barongo, the Director Safety and Security at UCAA said that: \u201cWhen we get an application of Air Service License (ASL), we seek to understand whether he\/she is applying for a new license or renewal of the license. If he\/she isn\u2019t the first time applicant, we permit an application straight forward, but if the applicant is new, he or she gives an expression of interest we review it first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He, however, noted that if the applicant isn\u2019t conversant with what he is applying for, they invite the applicant and take him through the process and tell him the requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is done to ensure that all operators in the aviation industry are properly certificated in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Standards and recommended practices to enable them to continue operating,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
