Entebbe Airport Sets Record with Highest Monthly Passenger Traffic in July 2025

Entebbe International Airport handled 230,577 passengers in July 2025, the highest monthly traffic in the airport’s history surpassing December 2024, with 222,301 passengers.

According to Mr Vianney Luggya, the head of corporate affairs and communication at Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Entebbe International Airport recorded 119,127 arrivals and 111,450 departures, averaging 7,437 per day.

This growth was partly attributed by the arrival of delegations for CHAN 2024, increased tourism promotion, international conferences, and enhanced airline connectivity.

The airport also handled a total of 5,863 metric tonnes of cargo, including 3,961 tonnes of exports and 1,902 tonnes of imports.

Aviation analysts say the steady rise in passenger numbers reflects Uganda’s growing appeal as a regional travel and business hub, as well as improvements in airline connectivity and airport infrastructure.
