Quoting from: http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAFR620062005
On 8 January 2005 an Antonov-12 (registered as 9Q-CIH) operated by Services Air, and wet leased from a South African company, Aerolift, crashed north of Entebbe. The crash investigation revealed that the cause of the accident was overloading and engine failure, and the inquiry concluded that the aircraft had no air operator’s certificate, no airworthiness certificate, and did not carry records of maintenance and insurance.(348) The same plane was operated in late 2003 for flights between Goma, Kisangani and Kinshasa, but by a different company, Uhuru Airlines, when Aerolift in South Africa had registered it as 9L-LEC on the Sierra Leone aviation register.(349)

So, Aerolift is no airline at all, having NO AOC, NO CofA, NO insurance....
Interesting...
