Uganda to resume international flights from Oct 1

Date:

Uganda will resume international flights from October 1, about six months after the government closed airports in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, an aviation spokesperson said here on Wednesday.

Vianney Luggya, the communications officer of Uganda Civil Aviation Authority, told Xinhua that the authority has released the tentative schedule for the resumption of international passenger flights to Entebbe International airport, about 40 km south of the capital, Kampala.

Ayub Sooma, the aviation authority’s director for airports and aviation security, on Tuesday sent the schedule for phase one of passenger flights to Entebbe International airport to various international airlines.

The schedule is effective October 1 and will be in operation for the next three months.

“This is a tentative schedule for planning purposes. It is part of an ongoing internal discussion between the airport authority and air operators,” said Luggya.

President Yoweri Museveni last week instructed the national taskforce team on Covid-19 to review the possibility of a phased reopening of the country’s international airport, schools and places of worship as the country eases lockdown restrictions.
