National courier, Uganda Airlines have issued a statement following a viral video showing a man hawking Nsenene aboard flight No.446 to Dubai.

This was after the Works and Transport minister, Gen Edward Katumba Wamala ordered the airline to take action against the staff who was in charge at the time of the incident.

About the video making rounds on social media of someone vending Nsenene aboard @UG_Airlines, I have spoken to the leadership of the airline to take action against the staff who were in charge when this happened.

A sharp passenger advantage as passengers were boarding, pulled out his polythene bag and started selling Nsenene causing a disruption.

The airline has condemned the act but picked positives. They are now planning to add a Ugandan delicacy, Nsenene (grasshoppers), to their menu for regional and international flights on request.

The airline management believe this will boost tourism marketing and the livelihood of people in the grasshopper value chain going forward.
