Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will not compromise standards to honor a few self-important individuals at the expense of life and the country’s global reputation, officials say.

Board Chairman of Uganda Aviation School Capt. George Mike Mukula.

The Board Chairman of Uganda Aviation School Capt. George Mike Mukula, recently expressed his disappointment in the Civil Aviation Authority for allegedly blocking investment in the sector.

According to Mukula private investment in the Aviation Sector in Uganda is failing to pick up because of the inadequacies and a complacency culture that has riddled the Civil Aviation Authority at all levels.

In a heated response, the director air safety security and economic regulation Samuel Muneeza addressed the media this morning refuting these allegations.

Muneeza said that given air travel is border-less, any compromise will endanger lives and put the country at risk of sanctions.

He says even the nations that would invest in using Entebbe airport would back out if the country was cited in any scandal costing the country lots of money.

Civil Aviation authority officials maintain most Ugandan nationals don’t have the capital to run an airline, or civil aviation school.

Muneeza says even Flight Captain Mike Mukula who understands how the system works is trying to undermine it knowing he does not meet the set standards.

Mukula has revealed intentions to sue the Civil Aviation Authority for a loss of over $ 1.5bn.
