From 5 July 2019 to 15 September, Emirates will increase its frequency to Entebbe with three additional flights a week to its daily services.
The introduction of the extra flight is in response to increase in passenger traffic from Entebbe to Emirates global destinations such as Dubai, London, New York, Beijing and Guangzhou.
Currently, the airlines operate daily Entebbe-Dubai flights to over 150 destinations via its Dubai Hub. The three additional weekly flights will operate on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
