African Aviation Trails

United Nigeria Airlines has expanded its fleet with the delivery of a leased 180-seat Airbus A320-200 to support network growth and operational flexibility. DHL Aviation has stationed two Boeing 737-400SF freighters in Lagos to strengthen cargo connectivity across West Africa and key Africa–Europe and Africa–Asia trade corridors. Meanwhile, Uganda’s government is seeking funding for a dedicated helicopter to enhance wildlife conservation and aerial surveillance, while lawmakers cautioned that maintaining Uganda Airlines’ operational stability remains vital to sustaining the country’s tourism growth.
