Vule Airways Limited was a privately owned airline in Uganda. Established in March 2017, it was expected to begin scheduled commercial flights in November 2017.[1] [2] [3] [4]

Operations

The company's corporate headquarters were at 515 Mbogo Road, Kibuli Hill, Kampala, Uganda.[5] The airline maintained a sales office in the central business district of Kampala, at 13-15 Kimathi Avenue,[5] and another office in southwest London, in the United Kingdom.[5]

As of August 2017, the company was waiting for the award of an air operator's certificate by the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA).[1] [6] The company planned to hire 60 employees initially and lease six aircraft to provide domestic, regional and international passenger and cargo services.[1] [6]

In August 2017, Ch-aviation reported that Vule Airways had secured an air services licence (ASL) from the Ugandan Civil Aviation Authority.[7]
