Uganda Airlines is gearing up for a significant milestone as it schedules its inaugural flight to Lagos, Nigeria, set to take off on October 19, 2023.

The airline’s Chief Executive Officer, Jenifer Bamuturaki, is poised to mark this momentous occasion in the company’s history.

According to freshplaza.com, the operation to Lagos creates an air bridge to West Africa that breaks a cross-connectivity pattern that impedes swift interconnectivity in East Africa.” The schedule of the flight will be 3 times a week: Monday, Thursday and Sunday.

According to Bamuturaki, Africa is underserved in terms of Air transport at only 22%, and connectivity by air has become more expensive on the continent. “Regionally, the connectivity between the West and the East is still minimal; usually, we look as far as the Middle East to connect with West Africa,” said Bamuturaki, adding, “Uganda Airlines is here to answer this call of duty and hereby brings its commitment to the fore to start its service to Lagos, Nigeria.”

Some claim that the Nigerian market is very ripe for Ugandan exports, such as manufactured goods, fish, chili, cassava, wheat, fruits and vegetables.
