Nigeria and Uganda have solidified their air transport partnership in a move to improve connectivity from Entebbe International Airport in East Africa to Lagos in West Africa.

To bridge the gap between travelers in the two regions, Uganda Airlines’ inaugural flight to Lagos is set to transform accessibility and further strengthen the continent’s commitment to the Single Africa Air Transport Market.

A group of Nigerian pilots helmed the first voyage from Entebbe to Lagos, signifying the commencement of this promising venture.

The Nigerian government has also expanded access to Uganda Airlines by designating Abuja and Kano as entry points, fostering trade and investment in both nations.

Flights, scheduled for Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, will take under five hours, with economy class tickets priced at $510 and business class at $1800.

The launch of this direct flight service carries the potential to bridge the geographical and economic gap between travelers in West and East Africa.

With high hopes and an eye towards economic growth, Nigeria and Uganda embark on this new journey, poised to unlock myriad opportunities for trade, tourism, and collaboration between the two nations.

The skies are now open for a new chapter in East-West African air connectivity, as these direct flights take off to new heights.
