Uganda Airlines has been granted landing rights and will commence direct flights to China.
This website understands that Uganda Airlines top officials will Monday hold strategic management meeting to discuss a number of issues including when the direct flights to China should commence.
“Some officials want us to begin as early as next month, other before the years ends. But what I can assure you is we have been approved to fly to China,” said an official who didn’t want to be named since he isn’t authorized to speak to the media.
China is one of the most popular destinations for Ugandan businessmen and women.
A study conducted by UCAA in 2017 indicated that the top five major destinations for Ugandans travelling through Entebbe International Airport were United Arab Emirates, Kenya, China, United States of America, South Africa, and England.
After launching China flights, the national carrier will kick off plans to fly to America and England.
