History

BAR Aviation was established in Uganda in 2008. It began with pilot training, air charter services and aircraft maintenance services. The airline began scheduled flight services in Uganda on 1 February 2022.[9] [10] BAR Aviation Uganda utilizes the AeroCRS Cloud Reservation System.[11]

The airline expects to participate in the revival of the tourism sector, following devastation by the COVID-19 pandemic.[12] In addition, with the ongoing expansion of the country's petrochemical industry, a number of aircraft acquisitions are targeted towards medical evacuation activities.[13]

BAR Aviation Uganda has an interline agreement with Uganda Airlines, on domestic travel, within Uganda.[14] [15]
