A Uganda Airlines Airbus A330neo took time out from its airline schedule to appear at the Dubai Airshow. The carrier has just begun flying its first long-haul international services, with Dubai the initial destination.

Participating at the show at the invitation of Airbus, the A330-800neo (new engine option) is one of two that Uganda Airlines ordered in July 2019, shortly after the state-owned airline itself had re-formed after lying dormant since 2001. Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000s, the aircraft is configured with 20 business, 28 premium economy, and 213 economy seats in the latest Airspace cabin interior.
