Uganda's size, road conditions and scattered airstrips make flying the practical choice for many journeys. This guide covers how domestic flights in Uganda work in 2026 and when a charter makes sense.
Scheduled vs charter
Scheduled domestic services run between a handful of airstrips on fixed timetables. Charter, by contrast, flies on your schedule, to far more destinations — including bush strips that scheduled services never touch. For groups, remote sites or time-critical travel, charter is usually faster overall once transfers are counted.
Airstrips and national parks
Uganda has dozens of usable airstrips, many serving national parks and remote districts. KEA's short-field Cessna Caravans and helicopters reach these directly from Kajjansi Airfield, Kampala.
Reaching remote sites
For energy, mining, NGO and corporate operations, direct flights to site save days. See our charter flights from Kampala and remote site operations.
