Entebbe International Airport Sees Record Passenger Surge in June 2025 Entebbe International Airport in Uganda has reported a significant uptick in activity, with June 2025 marking a record 213,217 international passengers, including 106,583 arrivals and 106,634 departures.
This averages 7,107 daily movements, the second-highest monthly figure following December 2024’s 7,171, according to the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The growth, a 7.7% increase from May’s 198,052 passengers, is attributed to Hajj returnees, booming tourism, business travel, and a series of high-profile conferences.
Entebbe Airport’s new terminal, part of a $586 million upgrade project initiated in 2015 with a $200 million loan from China’s Exim Bank, stands as a testament to Uganda’s ambition to enhance its aviation infrastructure.
The facility, showcased in recent images, is poised to handle increased Entebbe International Airport flights and Entebbe arrivals, supporting the country’s goal to attract 4 million visitors annually by 2020 under its Development Policy.
In addition to passenger growth, Entebbe Airport managed 6,293 metric tonnes of cargo in June, comprising 4,332 tonnes of exports and 1,961 tonnes of imports, reinforcing its role as a vital hub for regional trade.
Travelers arriving at the airport can seamlessly arrange Entebbe Airport transfer services, with options ranging from cabs to shuttles operating 24/7 to nearby cities and towns.
For those exploring beyond the airport, Entebbe City Tour options highlight the area’s rich attractions, including serene boat trips to spot the rare shoebill in Lake Victoria’s Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe Town.
Visitors can also unwind at top Entebbe hotels like Hotel Horizon, Peniel Beach Hotel or De Rain Eco Beach Resort, which offer proximity to nature and cultural experiences.
Popular Entebbe activities include visits to Uganda Wildlife Conservation Education Centre (UWEC Zoo) in Entebbe, Bussi Island’s Park Shoebill and the tranquil Mabamba Wetland Swamp, catering to birdwatching enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
