“Aviation is a collective responsibility of all stakeholders, including the media, to communicate accurately and appropriately,” the UCAA’s Director General said.
He further expressed the authority’s commitment of continued collaboration, investment in infrastructure and adoption of modern technologies that will be key to sustaining growth while ensuring safety and security across Uganda’s aviation industry.
