Uganda Airlines, Uganda’s national airline, will launch daily flights between Entebbe, Uganda, and Kigali, Rwanda, on 18 November to facilitate travel between the two countries and support tourism and trade. The airline is holding consultations with Rwandan tourism and travel professionals in Kigali this week, Imvaho Nshya reports.

The 12 November meeting is organised with the Ugandan embassy in Rwanda and the Uganda Tourism Board, the Ugandan body responsible for promoting tourism. Participants examined commercial and tourism opportunities linked to the new route, while Michael Bulwaka, adviser to the office of Uganda’s ambassador to Rwanda, presented Uganda Airlines’ services and the country’s tourism offerings.
