Uganda Airlines has won the ch-aviation World’s Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award 2022 for the second year running.
The ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award recognises airlines from across the globe that keep a young, modern, and efficient fleet. For the first time, ch-aviation also recognised Aircraft Leasing companies with the ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Portfolio Award.
In the latest award, Uganda Airlines emerged number one ahead of Sky Airline (in second place) SalamAir, Via and Flyadeal in 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively.
With an average aircraft age of 1.95 years, ch-aviation says the airline has been operating the world’s youngest fleet for two years running and that “maintaining modern and efficient aircraft helps decrease CO2 emissions in the industry and helps achieve better fuel efficiency, representing a huge step forward for sustainability.”
“Airlines and Aircraft Leasing companies dedicated to keeping their aircraft fleet young and using new generations of aircraft contribute significantly to the decrease of C02 emissions within the aviation industry and help achieve better fuel efficiency. To acknowledge their accomplishments, ch-aviation has decided to give them the recognition they deserve. It is important to note that this award is based entirely on non-manipulable aircraft data,” ch-aviation’s statement reads.
