A few weeks ago we got our first glimpse of the exterior of Uganda Airlines’ (rare) A330-800neo, and now the interior of the plane has been revealed as well.

No. Those Economy seats aren't cheap. They're very nice and comfortable and made by Geven. Zodiac RAVE operates on AZ, Lufthansa, and Air France. Efficient and good.

It's not part of one of the major alliance groups. Would be good for those going to or coming from Uganda but it's a bit out of the way for most.

Wasn't the A330-800neo meant to be an A330-200 replacement? Or possibly even a 767 replacement? I'm surprised it wasn't more popular for those who didn't need as much as plane as the -90...

For those in the comments who are criticising/questioning Uganda: - I am a gay man. I have been to Uganda three times, with my husband (once for 6 weeks, travelling all over the country) and experienced no sort of negative issues at all. Most Ugandans have simply never (or never knowingly!) met gay people, so tend to be fascinated rather than hostile. Certainly most Ugandans are significantly less hostile to LGBT people than, say, the average person in certain parts of the southern United States... Sure, I wouldn’t walk around holding hands with my husband, but I don’t normally do that anyway! - Uganda is a genuinely wonderful place. It has been much less spoilt by tourism than most of Southern Africa, has amazing wildlife and truly wonderful people. If you are willing to forego haute cuisine and branded hotels in favour of more “genuine” travel experiences, it’s pretty unbeatable as a destination. - All of that said - and back on topic - I think I will stick to KLM for my future trips!

I love the look of the aircraft ... it stops there for me

Seems like the business class privacy shell has been redesigned to allow more space at shoulder level, and also access to outside view for window seats, much better than TK or SQ design.

If you look closely, the 2-4-2 economy seats actually have two armrests in the center so the arrangement is way better than any Boeing setup.

Nice plane. Now, if I could just think of one single reason to go to Uganda...

They chose the cheapest economy seats (the same on Ukraine International Airlines) with the cheapest entertainment system, Zodiac RAVE (which is cheap because it's a wireless system)
