Uganda Airlines Orders 8 Boeing Jets in First-Ever Deal
BA sits 19% above its 52-week low of $176.77.
Summary
Uganda Airlines placed its first Boeing order, committing to four 737-8 and four 787-9 aircraft. The deal, announced at the Farnborough Airshow, supports the carrier's fleet renewal and expansion across Africa, the Middle East, and beyond. While modest in size relative to Boeing's backlog, it adds a new African customer and reinforces demand for the 737 MAX and 787. This follows a string of recent order wins, including a 200-jet commitment from China and a Vietnamese directive for Boeing purchases. The order book continues to build momentum as Boeing ramps production toward record levels.
