Fast-growing cargo and passenger handling company, Aviation Ground Service (AGS) will from today Wednesday, 25 September 2024 commence the passenger handling of Uganda Airlines flights into Harare’s RG Mugabe International Airport in Zimbabwe.
The East African carrier commences thrice weekly flights from Ugandan capital, Entebbe to Harare, one of Southern Africa’s economic hubs and gateway into the region. The three-times- a-week flights will be operated using the airline’s fleet of (previously Bombardier) CRJ-900LR
AGS has been successful in winning the contract to serve Uganda Airlines as a new customer in Zimbabwe. This comes after demonstrating our high standards in handling both passenger and cargo airlines across Zimbabwe’s three major airports in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Caleb Mudyawabikwa the Managing Director of Aviation Grounds Services said, “With Uganda Airlines we have entered the East African market. We are excited to add Uganda Airlines to our customer base. We aim to provide the airline with our world-class passenger and ground handling services while strengthening our ambitions to serve more airlines in Zimbabwe”.
“AGS demonstrated to us that they are a perfect partner to support our expansion to Zimbabwe. Their proven track record of handling cargo flights and up to 100 passenger flights a week in Zimbabwe with top-class customer service assured us that they are a perfect partner for Uganda Airlines. We look forward to welcoming Zimbabwean passengers onboard our flights as they fly the Crane to the Pearl of Africa”,said Jennifer Bamuturaki the Chief Executive Officer for Uganda Airlines.
In 2023, AGS – which is both ISAGO and RA3 certified – obtained a passenger handling license after decades dedicated to cargo operations in Zimbabwe. Currently, the ground handling company operates from three international airports in Zimbabwe which are Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
