Despite the fact we'll have to wait to see the Crane tail carrying the flag in other nations.
However, the (official?) website has changed very recently (= read), no more useless countdown with clouds in the background

Looks like they'll be ready soon...

Apparently Uganda Airlines has approval from Somalia CAA to begin flights to MGQ.
Question for B747-437B, do they need any other international authorization to fly between the two countries? Maybe just Kenya?

That is the tricky one. Kenya is normally not permitting overflight for foreign registered aircraft to use Kenyan airspace for flights to/from Mogadishu. They still require them to do a security stop in Wajir. The alternative is a 20 minute longer detour via Ethiopia and South Sudan airspace instead.

https://atcnews.org/2019/07/10/ucaa-...-in-late-july/Interesting to read in some Ugandan media that obtaining the AOC, means automatically starting flights the same day/week...

Then he went on to say that commercial operations will begin July 28th. My guess is that commercial operations means putting up a website.

The default booking shows One way as the selection. Business class also available!
It doesn't appear to be there on the UgandaAirlines website though, only hotel and tour booking visible there.
