Uganda Airlines will launch daily scheduled flights between Entebbe and Kigali on 18 November 2026, KT Press reported.

The announcement was made on 12 November at the Kigali Serena Hotel during a travel trade event organised by the airline with the Uganda High Commission in Rwanda and the Uganda Tourism Board, under the theme "Strengthening Connectivity, Tourism and Business Relations Between Uganda and Rwanda".

Morning and early afternoon departures

The airline says the daily service will offer morning and early-afternoon departures throughout the week. Through its Entebbe hub, passengers from Rwanda will be able to connect to more than 18 destinations, including London, Mumbai, Dubai, Lagos, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Kinshasa, Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Lusaka, Harare and Accra.

Neighbours with deep ties

Michael Bulwaka, counsellor at the Uganda High Commission in Rwanda, welcomed the route. "Uganda and Rwanda enjoy longstanding historical, cultural, social and economic relations. Our two countries share more than geographical proximity; we share deep family connections, common interests, business opportunities and a collective aspiration for prosperity," Bulwaka said.

He encouraged Rwandan travel agents to use the service to build new travel packages and reach more customers.
