Uganda Airlines has announced plans to launch three new routes to the capitals of Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria in September 2024.

According to Uganda Airlines Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jenifer Bamuturaki, the new flights will increase Uganda’s connectivity to the rest of Africa.

“The creation of an air bridge to West Africa and Southern Africa will bring convenience to travelers across the continent with direct flights and seamless connectivity, enabling multiple opportunities in business, trade, tourism, and socio-cultural linkages,” Bamuturaki said.

The airline already flies to Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, South Sudan, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, India, Burundi, and Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos.
