Uganda Upgrades Main Airport to Boost Capacity.
KAMPALA, Uganda—Uganda is making big changes to its main airport in Entebbe. The work will help the airport handle more passengers and cargo and improve the travelers' experience.
Fred Bamwesigye leads Uganda's aviation authority. He gave an update on the project at a recent meeting.
The biggest part is a new passenger terminal, which will be finished by June 2025. The terminal will allow the airport to serve 3.5 million passengers each year, up from 2 million now.
The airport is adding three more jet bridges. These will make it easier for people to get on and off planes. The airport has also fixed up its runways and taxiways. This keeps things safe and allows more flights.
A new terminal opened in January 2024. It has already hosted some important events, including international summits.
Mr. Bamwesigye said the upgrades will help the airport grow and make Uganda a better place to visit.
More passengers and cargo will be good for Uganda's economy. The changes could attract more airlines to the country and increase trade and tourism.
The aviation authority plans to do even more. It wants to improve the airport buildings and add parking and fuel systems.
Uganda is investing a lot in its main airport. It wants to keep up with a growing economy and a changing world. The country believes the new airport will help it do well in the future.
People are excited to see the finished airport. They think it will benefit Uganda for many years to come.
The airport upgrade is a big step for the country. It shows that Uganda wants to have a top-notch aviation system. This can help the nation succeed and grow.
