Uganda Airlines gears up to launch services to the UK

Uganda Airlines is preparing to launch direct flights between Entebbe International Airport and London Gatwick Airport.

The inaugural flight is set for 18 May 2025 and will use the carrier’s latest Airbus A330-800neo aircraft.

The decision to open the new route follows extensive discussions between Uganda Airlines officials and UK aviation authorities.

Uganda Airlines CEO Jenifer Bamuturaki led talks aimed at strengthening business connections, promoting tourism, and connecting Uganda and the UK.

Bamuturaki said: “I’m elated and excited to announce the dates for the long awaited direct flights to London by Uganda Airlines. This route marks the end of our establishment phase, and sets us on a course for long term growth and expansion.

“It gives me great pleasure that we celebrate our fifth year with this amazing milestone.”
