In what appears to be a lifetime of waiting Entebbe International Airport has finally received a face-lift as the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) opened part of the first floor of the new terminal building to facilitate departing passengers. The new departure terminal building boasts adequate space at the check-in counters while observing the necessary Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) during these COVID-19 times.

The Ag Director-General UCAA Mr. Fred Bamwesigye made this announcement during a media tour of the completed passenger facilities at Entebbe International Airport, Friday. He said;
“We have had to open because really what we are looking for is adequate space for our passengers for Covid-19 guidelines observance; such as social distancing since the number of passengers keeps on increasing. With the old facility, we were handling two million passengers a year and this new departure passenger terminal will handle at least more than three million passengers a year since the number of flights per day also increased from the one flight airline per day to at least two per day for the operators that were previously having many daily flights.”
As part of the new changes, the passenger boarding lounges have been changed from closed to open boarding lounges by doing a way with the portions to provide more space and seating area in the terminal.
