The regional airline of Uganda, Fly 540 has reportedly leased two DC-9 aircraft recently. These new DC-9 Aircraft will enable Fly 540 to offer Business Class seats for the first time in any of their fleet aircraft. The aircraft is configured with 10 Business and 70 Economy seats.<\/p>\n
This new addition in the Fly 540 fleet is said to be a \u2018substitute\u2019 until the additional CRJ aircraft arrive to join the fleet. These CRJ aircrafts will be providing additional seats for the forthcoming peak season on flights to Nairobi<\/a> and Entebbe. Also, the CRJ will operate onward flights from Nairobi to Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.<\/p>\n As stated in recent online news reports from Nairobi, the regional airline Fly 540 swiftly got hold of these two Kenya-registered aircraft to stop-gap until the CRJ is received. These aircraft were previously flown by East African Safari Air Express and initially grounded when EASAX halted their own operations.<\/p>\n Passengers travelling with Fly 540 on these aircraft will now be able to enjoy wider seats in the front cabin, something no other airline besides Kenya Airways is presently offering on the route between Entebbe and Nairobi. The national carrier of Uganda, Air Uganda also uses all economy CRJ aircraft, unless their standby MD 87 aircraft is being used in case of increased demand in a busy season which has 50 more seats than the regular CRJ. Air Uganda\u2019s MD 87 aircraft has 20 business class seats and about 80 seats in economy class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The regional airline of Uganda, Fly 540 has reportedly leased two DC-9 aircraft recently.
