Well what had been predicted by some who know Uganda politics, has happened. This may mark the beginning of the end of Uganda Airlines.

I sure won't fly this airline with corrupt bureaucrats running the show.

LOL, but a more optimistic news:
Uganda Airlines will start DXB from Oct 4th, 3x/week (Mon, Fri, Sat). Not all timings are convenient for connecting to East Africa (NBO/DAR/BJM/ZNZ), compared to JNB and Kinshasa.
Fares from/to EBB, less than $400 in eco promo to $1200 in J. slightly more to East Africa, $600 in Y and 1600 in J for JNB.
With Rwanda just reopening its border with Uganda, too bad I've just booked with KLM to Europe.
If UR still exist in December
, why not give them a try...
Any updates of the new terminal at EBB?

I haven't been since COVID. Back when the lockdowns began I predicted that Africa would be severely impacted by the lockdowns in the wealthy nations and that has come to pass. I have to send money to my extended family in Africa so they can survive. I don't know when business will come back and me along with it.

Just booked a ticket for next month. Too bad Premium Economy is not (yet?) sold.
Hope there won't be any cancellation or schedule changes in the meantime. Really Looking forward to try them especially the outbound leg
