KLM Introduces Daily Uganda Flights

According to eturbonews.com, KLM in Kampala has announced a move to begin daily flights on the Entebbe–Amsterdam route, effective 5 April of this year. KLM will be the first European airline to fly daily to Entebbe, via Kigali. This comes shortly after British Airways announced the withdrawal of their flights to Dar es Salaam, a destination that KLM flies to daily via Kilimanjaro, while the Dutch national airline also flies double daily, in conjunction with Kenya Airways under a partnership codeshare arrangement, to Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi. The announcement is a warning shot for Emirates and Qatar who have daily flights to Entebbe, and also SkyTeam’s competitors, such as oneWorld, represented by British Airways, and Star Alliance, represented by Brussels Airlines, which from the summer schedule onwards will fly four times a week between Brussels and Entebbe, also via Kigali.
