Air Uganda adds more flights to key destinations
Wolfgang H Thome's Blog 21:03 28-Mar-14
Kilimanjaro will be for now be served three times a week, likely to go
to four soon in a joint code share operation with Tanzania's Precision
Air while under a similar deal Dar es Salaam will be served twice a
day compared to the previous one flight a day, allowing day trips from
Uganda to Dar without the need of an overnight stay and a special fare
to generate more traffic for the new double daily service was launched
at US Dollars 165 return PLUS taxes and fees.
Precision Air will no longer operate flights from the two airports to
Entebbe under their own banner but use the Air Uganda flights under a
commercial / code share agreement which is thought to be beneficial to
both airlines while giving passengers new options.
The most recently launched destination of Mogadishu / Somalia will
also see the number of weekly flights go up from three to four a week,
a sign of continued strong demand on the route.
Juba will see double daily flights continue except on Wednesdays and
Fridays, when three daily flights connect Entebbe with South Sudan's
capital city.
Nairobi flights will remain, for the time being, on the same level
with three flights a day except for Saturday when only two flights are
operated.
Bujumbura flights will also be upped from the present four to five a
week and have been changed to nonstop flights both ways.
Kigali in the meantime will, for the time being at least, be served by
RwandAir operating a flight codeshared with Air Uganda, which allowed
U7 to free aircraft capacity needed to increase flights elsewhere.
Air Uganda currently operates a uniform fleet of Bombardier CRJ200
jets in a single class economy configuration of 50 seats each. Word
from the grapevine however has it that a fleet increase and aircraft
type change may be on the way with speculation rife if Uganda's quasi
national airline may upgrade from the CRJ200 to the larger
CRJ700NextGen or even the CRJ900NextGen, which would allow them to
bring their acclaimed business class of the MD 87 days back.
Such a move, if confirmed, would also very likely take the wind out of
the sails of self-serving lobbyists trying to revive the defunct
Uganda Airlines as a scheme to tap into public coffers, which in any
case should no longer be an issue as President Museveni and His
Highness the Aga Khan a few months ago agreed that the Ugandan
government would invest in Air Uganda. Principal shareholder of Air
Uganda, until now, is the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development, in
short AKFED, which has over the years carried the burden of having
Uganda's colours flown across the region.
