Under the agreement, Uganda Airlines will expand simultaneously in both passenger and cargo operations. The two converted cargo aircraft include a Boeing 767 widebody freighter conversion and a Boeing 737 BCF freighter, aimed at enhancing the airline's air cargo capacity to meet the growing demand for freight services in Africa and international markets.

The signing ceremony was held at the State House in Entebbe, Uganda. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, several senior government officials, representatives from the U.S. Embassy, members of the Uganda Airlines board, and Boeing executives attended the event.
