ʻO ka mea maʻamau i ʻike maikaʻi ʻia ua hāʻawi ʻia ka hōʻailona maopopo loa e hoʻolauna koke ana ʻo Air Uganda i nā mokulele hou o ka ʻano Bombardier CRJ, kahi hoʻololi kupaianaha no ka mokulele, me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i kā lākou hoʻomaka mua ʻana (a lōʻihi ka hala ʻana) ua ʻōpala ke ʻano o ka mokulele. a ua koho i ka MD 87 pohō, e like me kāna mau ʻōlelo i kēlā manawa, "ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia," ʻoiai ʻaʻole maopopo i ka CRJ, kahi ʻōlelo i ʻike ʻia e nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka hui mokulele i ka wā i haʻi ʻia ai lākou. ʻO ka "Italian Job" ʻaʻole i hana i ke kālā (a i ʻole), a ua hoʻokau ʻia nā MD 87s Air Uganda ʻekolu i ke ala i waho e hoʻomaha ai i ka nui o nā limahana Ugandan kūpaʻa ma Kampala a me Entebbe.
Ua hōʻike ʻia ka nui o nā poho o ka mokulele mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana i nā mokulele - ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaka ʻana me ka jet aviation stone age DC 9s - ʻoiai ʻo kā lākou mokulele MD 87 i ʻike ʻia he pipiʻi a nui loa e hana ma ka hapa nui o ko lākou ala. ʻO ka ʻōlelo i loko o nā pōʻai mākaʻikaʻi mākeke o Kampala aia kahi lua-helu miliona, ke piʻi aʻe nei ke poho o ʻAmelika mai ka hopena o 2007, ʻoiai ʻaʻole e hōʻoia pololei ʻia kēia mai ka hui. E like me ka mea maʻamau i ʻike maikaʻi ʻia, ʻo kā lākou huakaʻi Juba wale nō e loaʻa kālā a hoʻopuka i nā mea ukana maikaʻi, ʻoiai ke ala ʻo Nairobi, ʻoiai ʻo ka hāʻule ʻana o ka lele kakahiaka i ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kumukūʻai wahie piʻi i ka makahiki i hala, ke hoʻomau nei ka hana. i ka ʻulaʻula, e like me kā lākou huakaʻi Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar. Eia nō naʻe, ke hana nei ka mokulele i kahi mākaʻikaʻi mākeke e hoʻohui i nā poʻe holo ma nā ala āpau ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā CRJs, e hana ana i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā mokulele i ka lynchpin e hopu hou i kahi mākeke mai kā lākou mau mea hoʻokūkū.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia ʻano mokulele, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e ʻae iā Air Uganda e hoʻomaka hou i kā lākou lele kakahiaka i Nairobi a hiki i Kigali, kahi e holo ai ʻo RwandAir i kēia manawa, me ʻekolu mau mokulele i kēlā me kēia lā e hoʻohana ana i ka CRJ a me kāna ʻoihana kaikuahine, ʻo Dash 8. ʻO nā wahi ʻē aʻe paha ʻo Goma ma Congo hikina, mai kahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke hānai i nā kaʻa ma o Entebbe i kā lākou pūnaewele ponoʻī a no Brussels Airlines a me lākou i codeshare i ke ala ʻo Juba i kēia manawa - kahi ala e hiki ai ke hoʻokomo maʻalahi i ka lua o kēlā me kēia lā. ma ka papa kiʻi kiʻi, e pōmaikaʻi nui ai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a hōʻike i ka ulu ʻana o ka nui o nā mea kaʻa i nā mahina i hala.
Ke lana nei ka manaʻolana no Air Uganda me nā kumu kumu a pau i ka maikaʻi, a ʻo ka Luna Nui o kēia manawa ʻo Hugh Fraser, ka luna ʻoihana mua ma Kenya Airways, ua hoʻoholo hou i ka moku. ʻO kona mua, ʻo Peter de Wal, ua hāʻule hewa i ka hopena o nā hoʻoholo hewa i lawe ʻia e kona mua ponoʻī, ka papa, a me nā mea nona ke kumu, a no laila, i ka wā o ka haunaele no ka mokulele i ka makahiki i hala, ʻaʻole i hiki ke hoʻohuli i nā mea a puni. i ka manawa pōkole i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma ke kūlanakauhale e ʻimi paha ʻo Hugh Fraser e noho a lilo i Luna Nui nui, ʻo ia ka mea e hāʻawi nui i ka hoʻomohala maikaʻi o Air Uganda.
