Gen Katumba Wamala commissions new fire fighting trucks at Entebbe Airport

Posted by Shamilah Seyiga In latest news, Media Watch, CAA News 0 comment

The Minister for Works and Transport, Gen Katumba Wamala has commissioned two state of the art fire fighting trucks at Entebbe International Airport.

Speaking during the function, Gen Katumba said with the country having successfully gone through two back to back international safety and security audits but is also is implementing Corrective Action Plans in preparation for future audits, which check on the level of compliance with international standard and recommended practices, the new trucks will go a long way in ensuring safety.

“I am glad to note that acquisition of the two new fire-trucks will go a long way in ensuring that Entebbe International Airport maintains and even surpasses the international fire Category 9,” the minister said.

The trucks

The two new trucks have special features, including a specialized chassis and ability to carry a heavy load of water and foam.

One of them, Tango 21 has carrying capacity of 12,500 liters of water and 1,500 liters of foam, while Tango 22 has water carrying capacity of 10,500 liters, and high reach extendable turrets meant for piercing the aircraft body in case need arises.

The two trucks also have a foam induction system that draws foam direct from the drums.

In addition, they have great performance, with a throw range of 100 meters.

Gen Katumba Wamala said in order to maintain the operating Category 9 for Entebbe International Airport, the regulations require having 24,300 liters of water on wheels.

“ These two new fire- trucks have a combined capacity of 23,000 liters, yet there are already several other existing fire-trucks in operation, which means that the chances of the fire category going below the recommended level ae now highly minimized which is great news for the industry.”

He congratulated the UCAA Director General and UCAA management upon the accomplishment.

The UCAA  Director General, Fred Bamwesigye said the aviation industry in Uganda is experiencing tremendous growth, which is reflected in the increasing number of aircraft movements and passengers hence the need to enhance professional skills for manpower that can handle emergencies.

“As the industry grows with advances in technology, firefighting and rescue operations become more complicated and challenging, thus the need to train and equip personnel with the knowledge and skills to match with the emerging technologies in fire and marine operations in order to ably handle such challenges once they occur at the airport,” Bamwesigye said.

He noted that UCAA will continue to invest in research, equipment and staff training to

meet with the required safety, security, response timelines and Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) as stipulated by the International Civil Organization (ICAO).

Bamwesigye mentioned that UCAA has previously acquired new fire-fighting boats and other equipment, and regularly trained and equipped staff with skills in water fire-fighting and rescue missions.

“The airport is currently equipped with the required professional personnel and modern equipment to respond to any emergency.”

Uganda eyes expanded air routes after successful ICAN 2024 negotiations

Posted by Shamilah Seyiga In latest news, Media Watch, CAA News 0 comment

What you need to know:

  • The country’s latest BASA signing with Oman and initiation of negotiations with Sudan, India, Botswana, Russia, and Malaysia demonstrate its commitment to expanding air connectivity.

Uganda has concluded its participation in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Air Services Negotiation Event (ICAN) 2024, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with high hopes of securing landing rights in more countries.

The Ugandan delegation, led by Olive Birungi Lumonya, Deputy Director General of the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA), successfully negotiated new Bilateral Air Services Agreements (BASAs), reviewed existing ones, and signed Memoranda of Understanding.

“These agreements are crucial for facilitating travel and trade between Uganda and other countries, with increased air traffic expected on both sides,” she said.

Uganda Airlines currently flies to 17 destinations in 12 countries, but with these new agreements, the airline is poised for expansion. The negotiations have laid the groundwork for potential flights to new destinations, including Northern Europe.

“We held our first-ever negotiations with Latvia, which is a significant step towards expanding our routes into Europe,” Lumonya noted.

The Ugandan team also reviewed existing agreements with key partners, including the United Kingdom, Qatar, and Ethiopia. Notably, Uganda secured a license to land at Gatwick Airport in July this year.

The country’s latest BASA signing with Oman and initiation of negotiations with Sudan, India, Botswana, Russia, and Malaysia demonstrate its commitment to expanding air connectivity.

“These agreements bring the total number of countries with BASAs with Uganda to 57, including 26 from Africa,” Ms Lumonya said. “A BASA outlines obligations and methods for cooperation between authorities, avoiding unnecessary duplication and facilitating certification of aeronautical products.”

With Uganda Airlines aiming to double its fleet size to at least 12 aircraft in the next five years, these new agreements are a significant step towards expanding its intra-Africa network and eventually reaching Europe and Asia.

The Ugandan delegation included officials from the Ministry of Works and Transport, Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, and Uganda Airlines.

The successful ICAN 2024 negotiations underscore Uganda’s commitment to strengthening its aviation sector and enhancing regional and global connectivity.
