Uganda Airlines to launch Boeing 737-800 flights to Accra from October 27

Uganda Airlines will deploy a Boeing 737-800 on its new four-times-weekly service to Accra starting October 27, 2026, expanding its West African presence and enhancing air links between Ghana and East Africa. 

The Entebbe-based carrier will operate the service through Lagos, Nigeria, using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The four weekly frequencies will provide additional travel options for passengers moving between Accra and Uganda, including business travelers, tourists, and families. 

The service also offers convenient connections through Entebbe to destinations across the airline’s wider network, such as Nairobi, London, Mumbai, and over 17 destinations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. 

Uganda Airlines operates a mixed fleet that includes Bombardier CRJ-900 regional jets, Boeing 737-800s, and Airbus A330-800neo wide-body aircraft. The Accra launch forms part of a broader push to strengthen connections between African markets. 

Ghana serves as a vital commercial gateway in West Africa, while Entebbe provides seamless onward links to East Africa and beyond. 

More frequent connections will help businesses plan regional trips with greater flexibility, support tourism operators, and improve access to commercial opportunities on both sides of the continent. 

The route is also expected to complement continental efforts to facilitate trade and investment under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
