Our Bureau - : Jan 18, 2022 - : 10:57 am

Uganda’s national carrier Uganda Airlines has been feted for the second year in a row for operating the world’s youngest aircraft fleet.

Boasting an average aircraft age of only 1.95 years, Uganda Airlines has been named the winner of the “ch-aviation World’s Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award 2022”.

For the first time, ch-aviation also recognised Aircraft Leasing companies with the “ch-aviation World’s Youngest Aircraft Portfolio Award 2022”. The Aircraft Leasing company managing the youngest fleet is CMB Financial Leasing, with an average age of 3.91 years.

The ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award was conceived to honour Airlines and Aircraft Leasing companies worldwide that maintain young and efficient aircraft. Keeping a modern fleet and portfolio by using new generations of aircraft contributes significantly to the decrease of CO2 within the aviation industry and helps achieve better fuel efficiency.

To determine which airlines currently operate and which lessors manage the youngest aircraft fleet, ch-aviation maintains an extensive aircraft fleet database consisting of more than 4,700 active airlines, more than 65,000 aircraft, and 1,000 lessors worldwide.

“The ch-aviation Youngest Aircraft Fleet Award recognises Airlines and Aircraft Leasing companies worldwide that operate young fleets and manage young portfolios, respectively,” said Thomas Jaeger, the CEO of ch-aviation. “The efficient newer aircraft generations are vital for lowering CO2 emissions and making flying more environmentally friendly, and we commend the winners for their effort. It is essential to say that this award is entirely based on non-manipulable fleet data. There is no jury or any other subjective parameter involved. “
