Bombardier Commercial Aircraft today celebrated the delivery of the first two of four CRJ900 aircraft ordered by Uganda National Airlines Company in July 2018. The new airline has selected Bombardier and the CRJ900 regional jets fitted with the ATMOSPH\u00c8RE cabin for its upcoming debut, making it the first operator in Africa with this enhanced cabin experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CRJ900 delivery ceremony held today at Bombardier\u2019s Mirabel, Qu\u00e9bec facility, was attended by executives of both Uganda Airlines and Bombardier Commercial Aircraft as well as several shop floor employees who build the CRJ900 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to commence our operations with the world\u2019s leading \nregional jet, and we look forward to providing the most modern passenger\n experience in regional aviation to the people of Uganda and across \nAfrica,\u201d said Ephraim Bagenda, CEO, Uganda National Airlines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe congratulate Uganda Airlines for taking delivery of their very first CRJ900 jetliner fitted with the ATMOSPH\u00c8RE cabin in a dual-class configuration with 76 seats, including 12 first class seats. The CRJ Series is recognized for its superior economics and efficiency and I am confident that it will be the stepping stone for the development of Uganda\u2019s regional air travel\u201d, said Fred Cromer, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
