Uganda Airlines has announced three new routes connecting Abuja, Lusaka, and Harare to its growing network. The airline will begin services to Abuja on September 12, followed by Lusaka and Harare on September 25.
Uganda Airlines CEO Jennifer Bamuturaki announced the routes, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s expansion plans.
“We are excited to announce this milestone in our expansion plans,” said Bamuturaki. “Our vision is to connect Africa, and this launch brings us closer to achieving that goal.”
The move is seen as a strategic step towards achieving the airline’s vision of bridging geographical gaps and connecting the East, West, North, and South of Africa. The entry into these new markets is designed to optimize regional operations, increase fleet utilization, and tap into underserved markets.
With the addition of Abuja, Lusaka, and Harare, Uganda Airlines will now operate in 17 destinations, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Dar es Salam, Bujumbura, Johannesburg, Dubai, Zanzibar, Lagos, Kinshasa, Mumbai, Mogadishu, Juba, and Kilimanjaro.
The airline has seen significant growth in recent years, with a 20% increase in traffic at Entebbe Airport and enhanced revenue growth. The expansion is positioning the airline for long-term profitability.
Bamuturaki expressed her confidence in the airline’s ability to deliver efficient and convenient services to passengers on the new routes.
“We are committed to providing our customers with exceptional service and connecting Africa like never before,” she said.
The new routes are expected to boost trade, tourism, and economic growth in the region, and passengers can expect convenient and efficient services from Uganda Airlines.
