Uganda Airlines has announced that services to Abuja, Harare, and Lusaka will commence on September 12th.
Twice a week flights to Abuja will launch on September 12, 2024, with services operated every Sunday and Thursday by their flagship A330-800Neo aircraft. This service will, as reported by ATCNews yesterday already, be an extension of their regular flights to Lagos, which operate every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday.
Flights to Lusaka and Harare will launch on September 25th and will operate four times a week: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, using a CRJ-900 aircraft, expanding the airline’s coverage of Southern African destinations yet more.
“We are delighted to announce these additions to our network, which not only increase Uganda’s connectivity to the rest of Africa but bring more choice and convenience to our customers,” said Uganda Airlines Chief Executive Officer Ms. Jenifer Bamuturaki before adding: “The new services also mark the second phase of our network development and attest to our mission to bring affordable air travel to Ugandans for business and leisure. They also lay the groundwork for the final phase, during which we shall expand our footprint to points in Europe and Asia.
The new services, combined with the existing services to Bujumbura, Dar es Salaam, Dubai, Johannesburg, Juba, Kilimanjaro, Kinshasa, Lagos, Mogadishu, Mombasa, Mumbai, Nairobi, and Zanzibar, expand Uganda Airlines’ coverage to 16 destinations.
The triple launch is a milestone in the airline’s continuous contribution to intra-African travel. The creation of an air bridge to West Africa and Southern Africa will bring convenience to travelers across the continent with direct flights and seamless connectivity and enable multiple opportunities in business, trade, tourism, and socio-cultural linkages.
The new destinations are open to bookings, and intending travelers can book through their travel agents, our ticketing offices, or online via the Uganda Airlines app and website.
