Uganda's aviation boss just wrapped up a regional meeting at Speke Resort, where she basically flexed about how the country crushed its latest safety audit and told neighbors they need to work together on making air travel less of a hassle. Olive Birungi Lumonya dropped stats showing Entebbe Airport moved over 1.1 million international passengers through the first half of the year, which is up from last year, and said inspectors came through to check things out before the session.
The government is dumping cash into upgrades that will bump terminal capacity from 2 million people annually to 3.5 million, plus building a massive cargo center and fixing runways. They are also constructing a new airport in Hoima to handle oil and gas traffic from the Albertine region. The meeting brought delegates from across East Africa to hash out how to standardize security protocols and improve passenger flow between countries.
