Uganda eyes Kampala - Belgrade service

NEWS FLASH


The President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, has expressed hope the country’s state-owned flag carrier will launch operations to Belgrade in the near future. Following a visit by Serbia’s Minister for Internal and Foreign Trade, Tomislav Momirović to Uganda earlier this year, and ahead of President Museveni’s visit to Serbia this week, Uganda’s head of state, said, “I would like for Uganda Airlines to begin a partnership with Air Serbia so that it can begin flights to the country in order to fast-track business, tourism and person-to-person exchange. I will be coming to Serbia with a delegation of sixty companies and businesspeople”. Mr Musevini added he had asked the Ministry for Works and Transport together with Uganda Airlines to explore all partnership avenues with Air Serbia. The Ugandan President is due to arrive in Serbia on Sunday.

    WOW, it would be fantastic if Uganda Airways only European destination would be BEG!
    It would also be only the third European airport with flights to Entebe international after BRU and AMS.

    BEG has a great opportunity to become the gateway to Africa for central and eastern Europe.

    Serbia - the 2nd most important European market, right after the UK (they are planning to launch the flights to London this summer).

    That would be one exotic route for sure....Uganda and Serbia...who would've thought! Still hoping BEG to be connected to EZE or GIG due to the large Yugoslav diaspora there.

    Great news, even though South africa has more demand for Serbia and the region but its still positive and good to see alternative moves away from europe.
