Uganda Airlines Boosts Local and International Flight Connections 2024

Uganda Airlines Boosts Local and International Flight Connections 2024

Uganda Airlines Boosts Local and International Flight Connections 2024

To increase its regional presence, the Uganda national carrier, Uganda Airlines is to open up more routes to key cities in Africa. The objective behind this extension is to create a strong intercontinental network that will support the airlines’ long-haul flights like London, Mumbai, and Dubai.

Uganda Airlines is a revival of the original airline that ran from 1977 until 2001; it is still relatively new. Last year in August marked the beginning of operations for this version which has been striving to expand its African coverage ever since. This growth of their networks represents a significant milestone in their strategy for growing internationally as well as positioning themselves as one among many important connectors within Africa.

New Routes & Schedule: Uganda Airlines Boosts Local and International Flight Connections 2024

  • Lusaka, Zambia / Harare, Zimbabwe: From September 25th, 2024 Uganda airlines will operate direct flights connecting Lusaka and Harare four times per week through triangular operations on Entebbe-Lusaka-Harare route so that resource allocation could be efficient enough while meeting demand patterns between these two countries.
  • Abuja, Nigeria: Starting on September 12th, 2024 two times every week there will be flights by Uganda airlines between Entebbe and Abuja. This move can only serve to better connect areas which used not receive adequate air service supply at all before with other regions but also act as another gateway into Nigeria alongside their Lagos flights.

Concentrating On Neglected Routes

The aim of choosing underserved points by Uganda Airlines is to allow people access cheaper means of transport when traveling abroad. One example would be the new Abuja route which links east Africa with west Africa; it presents itself as a low cost option compared to what already exists . By so doing ,the company hopes to become africa’s number one budget airline through this type of market positioning while at the same time offering easy connections within continents .

Joint Ventures To Foster Connectivity

In addition to increasing connectivity for passengers, these expansion projects will enhance the efficiency and profitability of the fleet. Uganda Airlines intends to create a strong regional network that would support its long distance operations.

Interline agreements are part of Uganda airlines’ growth plan; as at March 2021, Emirates had already collaborated with them while Qatar Airways, Hahn Air (of France) and APG airlines were added in August 2021. Air Tanzania ,Precision Air together with South African airways were still under negotiation stage hence their interlineship agreement signing date was scheduled for July 2024.

Uganda Airlines is therefore demonstrating its commitment towards becoming an influential player within Africa’s aviation industry through such extensions as well strategic alliances. The main goal being to provide better services thus facilitating economic development throughout the continent.

Jet Airways to restart commercial operations from September

Jet Airways to restart commercial operations from September

July 28, 2022 –

Jet Airways will start the process of hiring pilots for Airbus’ A320 aircraft, Boeing’s 737NG and 737Max planes as the airline is planning to resume its commercial operations in September. This comes after Jet Airways’ commercial operations were suspended on April 17, 2019, due to financial distress.

Jet Airways

“Good things come to those that wait – Jet Airways will be flying again soon! Inviting pilots who are current and type-rated on the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737NG or MAX aircraft, to apply to join us in creating history as we prepare to relaunch India’s classiest airline,” the airline wrote on its Twitter platform.

Notably, the ailing airline started the process for hiring pilots for Airbus’ A320 aircraft as well as Boeing’s 737NG and 737Max planes. The airline, which reportedly received air operator certificate from aviation regulator DGCA on May 20, is yet to place an order for aircraft with either European plane-maker Airbus or American aerospace company Boeing, according to news agency PTI report.

It is important to note that as of now, the ailing airline has just one operational aircraft, which is a B737NG, in its fleet. The airline has announced that it intends to recommence commercial operations in the current quarter ending September, the report said. Financial distress forced Jet Airways, which flew for more than two decades, to suspend operations on April 17, 2019 and a consortium of lenders, led by the State Bank of India (SBI), filed an insolvency petition in June 2019 to recover outstanding dues worth over ₹8,000 crore, the report further highlighted.

Finnair to unveil Helsinki Mumbai flights from August 2022

July 07, 2022 –

Finnair will finally be starting non-stop flights between Mumbai and Helsinki next month. Finland’s flag carrier, which started flying to Delhi from 2006 and currently has a daily on this route, had briefly launched Mumbai flights in 2008. But the global economic meltdown forced the airline to suspend the same soon after launch.

Helsinki Mumbai flights

The Mumbai service will now start as a thrice weekly — ironically during yet another global economic downturn— and go up to four times a week from this November.

“India is the number one growth market of Asia at the moment. We are looking at other cities in the country. Personally, I will be happy to see four destinations here in the next two years,” Sakari Romu, Finnair GM, India, of commercial division.

Finnair will operate its Airbus A330 between Mumbai and Helsinki on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Finnair connects customers to nearly 70 destinations in Europe and five destinations in the US — Seattle, New York, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles.

Speaking about the Mumbai launch, Finnair GM Desmond Chacko said: “As the world opens up to travel, it is an opportune time to expand operations and enable better connectivity for our customers. After Delhi, Mumbai is a major airline hub in India and is home to leading global businesses. Our new services will enable both business & leisure travel from the region as global economies gradually recover from the impact of the Covid-19.”
