South African private-sector regional airline Airlink has announced that it will start scheduled services to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda. The service will start on July 19 and will be operated four times a week. “Entebbe, which is situated on the shores of Lake Victoria, serves Kampala, which is Uganda’s economic and trading hub, but also an important gateway to the Eastern Africa economic community and the Great Lakes region, which represents a significant market,” explained Airlink CEO and MD Rodger Foster. “Our flights will enable and strengthen closer relations and activity between the Southern and Eastern African blocs and will also make it possible for tourists to explore and experience the diverse and rich array of travel experiences of both regions.”
