president Museveni flies economy

[regi]

Quite interesting article about the Ugandan president who flew economy ( no airline indicated ) to the UK.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/8401404.stm

There have been mixed reactions in Uganda to the news that President Yoweri Museveni flew economy class on a commercial airline over the weekend.

Now please NCB, please stay cool about narrow bodies to Africa. Please don't start dreaming flying Ryanair to Mombassa or Dakkar

Wonder if there are also Y-seats in his modest Gulfstream G550

Dear Regi,

I don't know how old you are, but continuing to make fun of NCB is becoming pretty childish. Common, we're adults... I think...

Cheers,

This website does not believe he flew economy with B.A. http://www.ugandarecord.co.ug/index.php ... rticle=478

But if he did, what is so economical about flying a Gulfstream "empty" (on the way back) while he is in a B.A. plane?

It would not surprise me if this economical president will buy a new toy soon... a G650.
