Aerolink reviews their routing – Flying safaris and tours – Chattered flights.
First inside air firm to support planned interior flights to Uganda National Parks is Aerolink Uganda. They started a business in 2013 and have made a great name for themselves in Uganda. First running regular flights to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park landing at Kihihi Airstrip and Kisoro for the northern and southern sectors of the forest respectively, this Kenyan firm subsequently launched flights to Queen Elizabeth National Park landing at Mweya and Kasese Airstrip.
They reach Pakuba and Bugungu Airstrip in Murchison Falls National Park. All these were daily flights from and to Entebbe.
They later expanded their path to Kidepo National Park and Semiliki National Park as business developed. Their efforts did, in fact, lessen the monopoly Fly Uganda had created by means of competition brought about by their entrance into the market, therefore lowering prices.
Aerolink decided to make sure that for all those who wish to fly to Murchison Falls National Park must do so on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with set conditions which include: There must be a minimum number of four people booked and confirmed and all flights must happen in the afternoon as business kept on shaping.
Anyone wishing to travel on any other day has to apply minimum seven times. The same is true of individuals who would like to travel to Kidepo National Park. This has hampered Uganda Tour companies who cannot raise a minimum of four individuals and connecting customers to fly on the designated dates is not easy.
The good news is that they have at least maintained two regular flights to Kihihi as well as Kasese Airstrip and have never raised their flight rates since their launch. Starting Entebbe Airport at 7:30 a.m., the morning flight arrives to Kihihi or Kasese one hour later.
The afternoon flight leaves Entebbe at 15:30 p.m. and lands Kihihi or Kasese at 13:45 hours. For those leaving Kihihi to Entebbe, the craft departs Kihihi at 9:45 am and arrives in Entebbe at 11:20hrs. Afternoon flights leave Kihihi at 14:30 and arrive in Entebbe at 15:30 hours.
