Uganda Airlines has released a flight schedule ahead of its maiden flight at the end of this month.
During a media breakfast today, the airline announced that starting August 28th their Aircraft will fly to Nairobi and Juba twice daily, Mogadishu three times weekly, Dar es Salaam and Kilimanjaro once a day, Bujumbura and Mombasa thrice a week.”
Uganda National Airlines Company Limited was last month issued with an Air Operator Certificate by the Civil Aviation Authority.
A return ticket to Nairobi will cost Shs 1m ($278), and one would need at least Shs 830,000 ($225) to fly to Juba and back.
Other costs include: Shs 1,053,000 ($286) Dar-es-Salaam, Shs1.2m ($325) to Mombasa, and 1,076,000 (311) to Bujumbura.
The national carrier collapsed 20 years ago but the government three years ago kick-started the process of its revival but many have been skeptical about the viability of the project.
Uganda Airlines Commercial Director, Jennifer Bamuturaki said the national carrier will be a serious player in the airline business.
The airline’s Technical Advisor, Cornwell Muleya said the national carrier has come at the right time when the continent is integrating and citizens easily access various countries without many restrictions which he said is an added advantage.
