Entebbe is stirring from slumber as two new carriers, SA Airlink and Air Arabia, launch routes here at a time national flag carrier, Uganda Airlines, is scheduled to commence flights to Dubai October 4.
Aviation officials are upbeat on this development and say, rather than feel that they are being crowded out by foreign careers, they see this as a revival of the aviation sector, which had a 71.5 percent tumble in 2020.
