Lagos to Entebbe: Uganda Airlines’ Grand Entry into the Nigerian Skies

On Thursday, the 19th of October, a momentous occasion occurred as Uganda Airlines spread its wings in Nigeria, amidst a water cannon splash and a press conference. Introducing a new route that strengthens Nigeria’s connectivity to East Africa, and in style.

Said to be celebrated for its commitment to excellence, Uganda Airlines embarks on a journey to capture the hearts of Nigerian travelers looking to explore East Africa for business and tourism, as well as other routes including Mumbai, Johannesburg, and Post Travel Ban Lift Dubai, for less.

Uganda Airlines, which is said to be proving its determination to provide a quality and out-of-the-ordinary experience, is launching in Nigeria with a fleet of all brand new aircraft, featuring four Airbus A330-800 and two CRJ 900 aircraft. “A pleasant approach given the historic pattern of foreign airlines dumping their worst aircraft in Nigeria”. Uganda Airlines, as it launches its operations in Nigeria, distinguishes itself with the promise and vision to bring Nigerians an unparalleled level of comfort within reach.

The Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) of Uganda Airlines, Adedayo Olawuyi, shared the airline’s view of the Nigerian market:

Our choice of Nigeria is a strategic move to enhance global connectivity for Nigerian travellers, linking them seamlessly to our other 12 destinations worldwide

The airline launched in two of the world’s largest countries, and the largest in Asia (India, Mumbai) and Africa (Lagos, Nigeria) within the same month, with several others coming soon. It is on a journey to take the Global Aviation Industry by storm.

In addition to Lagos and Mumbai, Uganda Airlines’ current routes include vibrant destinations such as Dubai, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Zanzibar, Mombasa, and Kilimanjaro. Each of these destinations is not just a place on the map but a unique experience waiting to be had, and Uganda Airlines is recommending itself as just the partner to do so.

As the largest economy on the continent and one of Africa’s biggest travelers, the introduction of an airline like Uganda Airlines could potentially facilitate easy exploration and connectivity for its population. The airline is also eager to contribute to the growth and advancement of Nigeria’s economic sector by fostering trade activities, as well as a healthy cultural exchange between Uganda and Nigeria.

With its respectful and excellent entry into the Nigerian market, Uganda Airlines positions itself as a contender to become the preferred choice for affluent travelers, both in the areas of business and tourism.
