## Description

Aerolink Uganda and other regional operators link Arua Airport (RUA) to the national gateway at Entebbe, serving the West Nile corner of Uganda close to the borders with the DR Congo and South Sudan. The field is shaped above all by humanitarian and relief traffic supporting the area's large refugee settlements. It has no dedicated cargo terminal, so commercial freight is consolidated through Entebbe some 480 km to the south. An African Development Bank-backed plan to raise Arua to international standard could broaden that profile in the coming years.
