Published on September 28, 2019, Uganda Airlines is expanding its regional routes with the addition of three new destinations.
The airline's commercial director, Jenifer Bamuturaki, announced that the airline will make its inaugural flight to Bujumbura, Burundi on September 30 at a promotional cost of $255.
On October 11, the airline will fly to Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and Mombasa in Kenya at a cost of $165 and $312 respectively.
These new routes will be in addition to the airline's existing routes of Nairobi, Mogadishu, Dar es Salaam, and Juba.
Ms. Bamuturaki noted that the airline is planning to increase the frequency of some routes due to growing passenger numbers.
The airline will increase the frequency of flights to Nairobi from two to three daily, and to Juba from one to two daily, pending the acquisition of more aircraft.
The airline currently operates two Bombardier CRJ 900 aircraft with a capacity of 76 passengers and is expecting to receive two more in early October.
The new aircraft will enable the airline to fly to Lusaka, Kigali, Zanzibar, and Johannesburg by December.
Two more aircraft from Airbus are expected late next year and will be used for long-haul flights.
