The growth in January 2025 traffic is partly attributed to several factors, including tourism, Uganda’s hosting of various international conferences, such as the African Union Extraordinary #CAADPKampala25 which attracted 977 delegates, Uganda Airlines’ sustained operations on new routes, and the coming on board of new air operators (Kush Air and Premier Airlines, with flights to Juba since December 2024).
