Entebbe International Airport saw 178,383 international travelers in March 2025. This number breaks down to 83,661 arrivals with 94,722 departures - about 5,754 people daily. The figures show a small increase from March 2024, which had 171,990 passengers. February 2025 traffic reached 161,095 international travelers, falling below February 2024's count of 175,630. January 2025 became the second-busiest month ever with 216,740 international passengers passing through.
Uganda Civil Aviation Authority explains that the March growth came from international meetings held in Uganda. Tourism promotion efforts helped boost these numbers as well. New airline Flynas started direct flights between Riyadh with Entebbe in early 2025. Uganda Airlines also kept expanding its routes throughout this period. All these factors combined to increase airport traffic considerably during March.
The airport handled 5,852 metric tons of cargo that month, including 1,965 metric tons of imports and 3,887 metric tons of exports. UCAA spokesperson Vianney Luggya highlighted how exports exceed imports, which creates more foreign currency earnings for Uganda. These statistics show important economic benefits from air travel operations.
