Uganda Airlines resumes flights on October,1 after airport reopens
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Uganda Airlines has announced it will resume flights on October,1 after being down for over six months due to the Coronavirus lockdown.

Government in March directed the closure of the airport and all the country’s borders to passengers and this meant, the national carrier had no passenger to carry.

On Sunday, President Museveni directed that the airport is reopened to tourists and Ugandans after being close to over six months.

In a statement released on Monday afternoon, Uganda Airlines announced that at the start of next month, they will resume commercial flights.

“The airline will restart its services with four destinations in the month of October,2020 namely Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Juba and Mogadishu. Other previously served destinations like Bujumbura , Kilimanjaro, Mombasa and Zanzibar will be added later,” the national carrier said.

Uganda Airlines says since the reopening of Entebbe International Airport which is their hub, their plans for the African network expansion will continue as they plan to launch scheduled operations to Johannesburg, Kinshasa, Harare and Lusaka.

“Uganda Airlines commits to keeping passengers safe and healthy through strict adherence to approve Standard Operating Procedures and compliance with national and international guidelines for safe air travel in light of Covid-19.”

On March 19, Uganda Airlines halted its services over the Coronavirus pandemic.

“Following the spread of COVID-19 and the control measures put in place by various countries to contain its spread; in compliance with health and safety guidelines, operational requirements and regulatory obligations, we wish to communicate changes to flight operations,” a statement from the national carrier read then.

In June, all the four CRJ -900 Bombadier aircraft carried out successful test flights.

The aircraft have also been involved in several flights to various destinations around the continent as they repatriated Ugandans stuck abroad due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
