## Description

Some 69,595 tonnes of air cargo moved through Entebbe in 2025, with the first half alone splitting into 22,844 tonnes of exports against 10,778 tonnes of imports — a balance that reveals Uganda's role as a net supplier of fresh produce. Sitting on the northern shore of Lake Victoria about 40 km south of Kampala, the field is the country's sole international gateway and the home base of Uganda Airlines. Fish (Nile perch), cut flowers and vegetables dominate outbound loads, channelled through perishables specialists such as Fresh Handling alongside Menzies Aviation, NAS and Uganda Airlines Cargo. Dedicated freighters arrive with Astral Aviation, while Ethiopian Cargo, Emirates SkyCargo, Qatar Airways Cargo and Turkish Cargo add main-deck and belly capacity, supplemented by KLM and Brussels Airlines. Because Uganda is landlocked, surface cargo relies on the Northern Corridor road link to Mombasa and the route to Dar es Salaam for ocean connections. Customs clearance and bonded storage are administered by the Uganda Revenue Authority. The airport's cold-chain depth makes it the reference point for East African horticultural exports to European and Gulf markets.
