Etihad Airways recently strengthened its presence in East Africa with the launch of new services to Entebbe, in central Uganda.
The Inaugural flight EY645 departed Abu Dhabi at 7.50am and touched down at Entebbe International Airport on schedule at 12.50pm. The new route will be operated by a two-class Airbus A320 aircraft with 16 business class and 120 economy class seats.
James Hogan, president and chief executive officer of Etihad Airways, said: “Uganda is one of the continent’s fastest-growing business and tourism destinations, and the launch of services to Uganda is consistent with our strategy of targeting areas of strong growth in emerging markets.”
The airline currently operates scheduled services to eight other destinations in Africa and the Indian Ocean, including: Cairo, Casablanca, Dar es Salaam (Dec 2015), Johannesburg, Khartoum, Lagos, Nairobi, and Mahé.
