Uganda Airlines has slashed prices for the maiden flight slated
for 28 August with a one-way ticket put at 166,000 shillings from Entebbe to
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
This means a return ticket goes for an enticing 330,000 shillings, a huge deal
from the normal average of $300 other airlines is charging for the same route.
The airline's website currently shows there is no tax applied for the ticket.
When the tax is applied, the ticket could be increased by $147 to bring the
entire cost to $192 for an entire one-way economy ticket.
A round-trip would cost one in the highs of $277 with taxes inclusive, the
Uganda Airlines website shows.
It is not yet clear when the tax will be applied. Online booking was activated
on Wednesday.
The prices keep on changing reflecting the demand at the time. The people
paying for the business class are charged $200 minus tax.
Uganda Airlines will take to the skies on Wednesday for the first
commercial flight which will leave Entebbe at 6 am and land at JKIA at 7:15
am.
One-way ticket from JKIA to Entebbe will cost $70 but a tax of $90 will be
applied to bring the total cost to $160.
Uganda officially received two planes – CRJ 900 – from Canada’s Bombardier in
April 23, 2019. It has been working on the paperwork and receiving necessary
approvals from Uganda Civil Aviation Authority and destination countries to be
able to fly commercially.
