Uganda will open a new passenger terminal at Entebbe International Airport by the end of this month.
The 20 000sqm terminal will be commissioned in phases and is expected to boost the airport’s passenger-handling capacity from two million passengers to at least 3,5 million annually, according to the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA).
The new terminal features three additional aerobridges, bringing the total to five, 24 new check-in counters in addition to the existing 22, and 14 self-check-in counters.
The UCAA is also planning additional upgrades at key airports around the country as Uganda prepares to co-host the Africa Cup of Nations in 2027.
Projects include the fast-tracked upgrade of Gulu Airport to international status, the completion of Kabalega International Airport in Hoima and plans to develop Arua and Kasese airports into code 4E international facilities, with longer runways and facilities capable of handling bigger aircraft and international flights.
