Uganda's sole international gateway and home base for Uganda Airlines; UCAA-reported CY2025 traffic of 2,486,893 pax (+10.9% y/y) as new international carriers (Flynas, FlyJinnah, Malawi Airlines) added routes. The 20,000 sqm new terminal extension has been phasing into service since the Jan 2024 modified-terminal opening, with immigration moving to the new extension in Apr 2026 ahead of AFCON 2027 — full commissioning should materially ease congestion at peak (Dec/Jul-Aug) periods.
