Rwanda Air resumes Entebbe flights on October 1
Following President Yoweri Museveni’s speech yesterday, where he announced the opening of the international airport and land borders for tourists coming in and going out provided they tested negative for COVID 19 72hours before arrival in Uganda, Rwanda Air has announced that it will resume its operations in and out of Entebbe International Airport on October 1st.
The Rwanda Government-owned airline, with a vision of becoming the airline of obvious choice in the markets they serve and a mission of providing unsurpassed, safe and reliable services in air transportation including strategically linking Rwanda with the outside world, while ensuring a fair return on investment has said that passengers/tourists bound in and out of Entebbe International Airport can start booking.
“Rwanda Air flights to Entebbe are now open for booking effective immediately,” said the Kigali based airline.
President Museveni, while opening the Airport and land borders said “The International Airport and Land borders will now be opened for tourists, coming in and going out, provided they tested negative 72 hours before arrival in Uganda and provided the tour operators ensure that the tourists do not mix with the Ugandans.
“How will this be done? The tourists will be driven straight from the Airport to their destinations or to designated transit hotels that are set aside for that purpose. Business delegations should also be handled in the same way by the Local Partners.
“The returning Ugandans, who have negative PCR results, will be allowed to go home. The Ministry of Health will only get their addresses for follow up.”
