Air Serv recently celebrated the grand opening
of Hangar II, doubling its hangar capacity at Entebbe International Airport in
Uganda.
With a 32m clear span and an 11m tail door,
the new facility can accommodate aircraft as large as the Embraer 175. The
roughly 1,900m2 structure also features six shops/storerooms on the hangar floor
level, as well as six air conditioned offices and a conference room on the
mezzanine level.
Present at the celebration was
Vincent De Paul Kayanja,
Mayor of Entebbe. Kayanja acknowledged with thanks Air Serv’s continued
investment in Uganda’s civil aviation industry, noting the local employment
opportunities resulting from the opening of the facility, as well as the
increased access to services for international organizations operating within
the region.
Air Serv, Uganda’s largest aviation
enterprise, operates a fleet of six Cessna Caravans, providing “last mile” air
transportation in support of East African humanitarian programs. Currently
active programs are in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of
Chad, with an operations base located in Entebbe, Uganda. Air Serv also provides
commercial air charter, facility, and aircraft maintenance services.
