Scotty Arrives
It has been busy here in the last few weeks. Just to give an idea of the amount of flying we have been doing…
In the whole of April our aircraft flew a total of 260 hours.
In the two weeks at the end of April our aircraft flew to 136 locations around Uganda, Sudan and DRC. 282 passengers were carried together with 4076 Kg of luggage and 4293 Kg of freight.
As a comparison, during the same two weeks in 2008 we made flights to 109 locations, 208 passengers were carried together with 3113Kg luggage and 2390 Kg of freight.
All of this flying has meant that we need more planes. We have been waiting for many months for the arrival of ‘Scotty’.
The plane arrived from MAF South Africa a couple of weeks ago and the engineering team have been busy inspecting it and getting a mountain of paperwork ready in order to get the plane registered here in Uganda.
Pray the the process would go smoothly so that ‘Scotty’ can be flying across Uganda, Sudan and Congo soon.
