Kampala: World’s friendliest Airline, Uganda Airlines has announced that starting October 2021, will be offering three Dubai flights per week in an extended service to its loyal passengers.
Addressing a press conference few weeks back, Uganda Airlines’ Ag CEO, Jenifer Bamuturaki said the maiden flight to Dubai had been scheduled to take place at an earlier date but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bamuturaki and her team are said to be targeting migrant workers who travel to the Middle East, the business class, among others, on the Dubai route. Between 200 and 300 migrant workers leave the country daily for work in Saudi Arabia, Oman and other gulf countries. This would mean the airline will make some money back home.
