UGANDA: The return of the East African Regional Airlines Airlines have started picking up the pieces after a long lockdown. They are putting in a fight to hit up the skies amid uncertainty. Some countries in the region are still closed out to external flights and certainly there is no guarantee when they will open or if they open, they won’t close again. In Uganda, passenger flights, apart from chartered ones and those carrying cargo, are still suspended.Definitely, operations for many airlines at Entebbe, Uganda’s only international airport, are dependent on when the airport will re-open. Uganda Airlines, unlike other regional airlines, has not put a date on when it will be flying again. Apart from chartered flight, the national flag carrier, according to Perez Ahabwe, the Uganda Airlines chairman, resumption of commercial flights is dependent on only and when government opens up the airspace and if destination countries are open to air traffic. Kigali and Nairobi will resume international passenger travel on Saturday or August 1 while Dar es Salaam and Juba have been open for close to a month now https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=131756621900495&substory_index=0&id=107656524310505 In Kigali passenger flights will resume on Saturday to a “select African routes where borders are open”, perhaps minus Uganda, just like in Kenya, where the government had already lifted the ban on internal flights https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=139508327791991&substory_index=0&id=107656524310505 In all the chaos surrounding aviation, the saviour lies in how fast the tourism sector picks up the pieces. Tourism is a major source of revenue for not only Uganda but Kenya, Rwanda and Tanzania http://www.glossy-adventures.com https://comforttour.pro/en/climbing-kilimanjaro-5895-m-marangu-route This means that the aviation sector will, both in the short and long term, need tourism to return from the buttered state it currently finds itself in. #nationmediagroup #ntvnuganda ##sanyukatv #dembefm #sqoop #ktn #UGVotes2021 #Bobiwine #emirates #peoplepower #aviation #pilots #nilepost #newvision #nbsupdates #mp3jajja #travelers #diamondplatinum #kondeboy #eddykenzo (at Entebbe Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQ_3vMBnLb/?igshid=ays5kuol3zdt
