Us who use Uganda Airlines now have a new problem, they strictly keep time. We had gotten used to delayed flights, so we'd be sure not to miss the flight even if we delayed to get to the airport. Now, try reaching late, you'll tell me how things went for you.

Uganda possibly benefits the most from liberalized skies in the East African community. Much lower base to rise from and tapping into a thriving ecosystem in Kenya & Tanzania. @jumuiya @EACCASSOA

REGIONAL FLIGHTS - REALITY. There are 7 to 8 flights daily between Nairobi Kenya and Entebbe Uganda and they are our biggest trade partners. Flights partly reflect economic power! Between Nairobi and Mombasa are 25 to 30 direct, over 180 weekly. Nairobi to kisumu between 8

Kenya Airways returned to profit…and then back to loss just a year later. I’ve taken a deep dive into what really happened beneath the numbers =>> https://t.co/VFo02hJ6FM

Should have done this from the get go instead of those jokes during set up. Instead of CRJ, go the Q400 route that you can use for local & regional, and get 737s to bridge the gap in Africa. And 3 787s for the hops across oceans.

Uganda Airlines is at a pivotal moment. In this piece, I explore what the recent developments really signal and why the quiet gravity of Ethiopian Airlines may shape its future more than we think. =>> https://t.co/bE75DIYzMR

Wow. Over 7 hours of flight, only to find yourself back at the point of departure. Flying to the Middle East has to be worth some pain at the minute
