UgFlyer mentioned that there was yet another A320 based start up based in Entebbe in the offing. Have made some investigations on that and it seem the AGA KHAN group, after their flagship investment in the Serena Hotel in Kampala is now moving into the airline arena in as well. According to a source who was at the recent CAB hearing, the new airline , owned by the AGA KHAN group, is to be called "Meridiana" and expects to start opeartions in April 2007. The A320 are not expected in the fleet until 2008. Initially the airline will operate an F28- currently said to be based in Nairobi (Sounds veeerrrryy familiar
) Anyway, we know the AGA KHAN group have the deep pockets to do it, and the Guys have some adverts for jobs in todays papers so maybe we eventually get to fly the Airbus in good time
