The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) brought together Muslim aviation stakeholders on Friday, 6th March 2026, for its annual Iftar dinner at the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) Head Office in Kampala.
The heartfelt gathering celebrated the holy month of Ramadan while delivering vital Entebbe flight updates to the travel community.
Director General Mr. Fred K. Bamwesigye used the occasion to highlight core Ramadan values, unity, discipline, empathy and service, values he noted are equally vital for safe aviation operations.
The evening also served as a platform to address the ongoing Middle East airspace situation that has affected international travel to and from Entebbe International Airport.
