British Airways increases flights to Uganda

British Airways has announced plans to start daily flights between Heathrow Airport and Entebbe International Airport to increase its share on transporting passengers flight from Uganda to Europe and vice versa.The company says it has effective this week started five return flights every week from Heathrow to Entebbe and will be able to make it daily in the next 18 months.

British Airways which has been offering three flights every week has been facing stiff competition from Brussels Airlines and KLM which have become leading carriers for travelers from Uganda to European countries and vice versa.As evidence of its intent to respond to the mounting competition on the Heathrow Entebbe route, British airways has changed its flight schedule so that it leaves Uganda in the evening and arrives in London at 6am, as many travelers have been demanding.

BA has been departing Entebbe flights early in the morning and arriving in Heathrow at 7pm, which made passengers spend the most productive time of the day travelling.The company has also announced that starting this week, it will offer a promotional fare between Entebbe and London, starting at $525 about 1 million shillings.
