Uganda Airlines’ inaugural service departed Entebbe at 9.25am local time on Sunday (18 May) and arrived in London at 4.55pm UK time. It will operate the route four times a week on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays, with same-day returns, using Airbus A330-800neo aircraft.
Jenifer Bamuturaki, Uganda Airlines chief executive, said the route would "connect Uganda with one of the world’s busiest and most strategic aviation hubs".
