Uganda Airlines has launched new flights to Abuja, Harare, and Lusaka. The new flights will commence on September 12, 2024.
Abuja will launch on September 12, 2024, with flights operated every Sunday and Thursday by the national carrier’s flagship A330-800 aircraft. This service is an extension of Uganda Airlines’ regular flights to Lagos, which operate every Sunday, Monday, and Thursday.
Flights to Lusaka and Harare will launch on September 25, 2024, and will operate four times a week: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Using the CRJ-900 aircraft, this service expands Uganda Airline’s coverage of Southern Africa.
“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.
“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,” she added.
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’s national carrier’s coverage to 16 destinations.
The triple launch is a milestone in Uganda 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.
“We 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,” the airline announced.
