In the month of November 2024, Entebbe International Airport registered a total of 182,932 international passengers (91,867 arriving and 91,065 departing passengers), an average of 6,097 passengers per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The January to November 2024 traffic reflects a 17.8% growth, according to Mr. Vianney Luggya, the UCAA Public Relations Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“There was a 5.6% growth in relation to aircraft movements with 29,751 recorded in January to November 2024 in comparison to 28,167 in the same period of 2023 and 26,511 in January to November 2022.

In relation to cargo, there was a rise in figures as January to November 2024 registered a total of 61,393 metric tones (41,012 metric tones of exports and 20,381 metric tones of imports) compared to 53,803 metric tones in January to November 2023 and 56,272 metric tones in the same period of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
November 2024 recorded a total of 5,730 metric tones of cargo (3,703 metric tones of exports and 2,027 metric tones of imports). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The growth in the number of international passengers is due to a number of factors, including tourism, Uganda\u2019s hosting of a number of international events like the Non Aligned Movement (NAM) and G77+ China Summit, in addition to a stable economic environment resulting into increased international trade. Commercial aircraft movements have increased due to new air operators joining the Ugandan airspace and the opening of new routes by Uganda Airlines to Abuja, Lagos, and Mumbai, among other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
