BRUSSELS AIRLINES NOMINATED FOR UGANDAN TOURISM EXCELLENCE AWARD
(Posted 13th November 2015)
Staff at Brussels Airlines’ offices in Rwenzori House were delighted when news broke that the Uganda Tourism Board informed them of their nomination in the category of best airline flying out of Uganda and invited them to provide the panel with details on media coverage, releases, CSR activities and general support for the tourism industry.
Needless to say was the airline able to provide all of that and more, with many articles in fact attributed to this correspondent and published in the international media.
In 2014 was Brussels Airlines the official airline for the Africa Travel Association Congress in Kampala, and would have been again for 2015 when the just ended congress was held in Nairobi, but for a route switch with senior partner Lufthansa which saw the airline commence flights to Accra while leaving the Kenyan capital to Lufthansa.
Regular reduced fare offers for Ugandan tourism stakeholders when travelling to the main international trade shows in Berlin and London too are part of the airline’s commitment towards Uganda as was the sponsorship last year of the country’s first Paramotor Tour which produced an overview of the country from an unusual perspective. Makerere University’s Academic Excellence Awards were as much supported as was the tourism board a beneficiary of the airline’s support.
The awards will be announced during a Gala evening at the Kampala Serena Hotel as part of the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo 2015 which will launch in a few days and has seen a large number of hosted buyers invited to the country, presently touring the national parks and exploring the scenic spots the country has to offer.

I have been travelling with Brussels Airlines since it started. Interestingly, I had been refused to take my (first class) seat by its forerunner Sabena when I arrived at Heathrow! That ended in Court, which case I won. (Sabena had pleaded it thought I was Burundi ex President Bagaza!) Brussels Airlines have more than made up for Sabena’s gaffe. In Business where I travel, food is great, the planes fine, and service most commendable. To give you the award is most apt. The only thing I’ll never stop asking for is a return journey that comes direct to Entebbe. Do this and I and my family are yours forever, Amen! John Nagenda.
Thank you John, for your positive comment and for reading my blog.
Both very much appreciated and warmly welcomed.
