History

It was one of several short-lived carriers that emerged in Uganda's liberalized domestic aviation market in the early-to-mid 2000s, alongside operators such as Uganda Airlines (1976-2001) and Victoria International Airlines.
Current Operations
The airline is no longer operating; it ceased flights in 2007 and its assets and routes were not continued under the same identity.
