National Carrier Restructures To Strengthen Workforce
Uganda Airlines CEO Girma Wake has ruled out mass layoffs, stating that the airline’s restructuring is intended to strengthen its workforce and address critical staffing gaps. The airline is projected to break even around 2030, with Wake defending recruitment plans despite poor financial performance. The airline’s management team appeared before Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises to address concerns over staff dismissals and financial management. This development was first reported by The Independent Uganda.
