The airport authority says Jambojet restarted flights between Nairobi and Entebbe on 1 October 2026 and counts it as the 21st international airline there. Uganda has air services agreements with 64 countries. A flight board shows one day only, so an airline missing from it may still fly.

Everyone leaving through Entebbe passes health screening and must have filled in the Ministry of Health's online traveller form. The airport has banks and forex desks, free wifi, a 24-hour medical centre, 24-hour cafes and a paid lounge. Arrive when your airline's check-in opens. Ask your airline whether the airport departure charge is already in your ticket.
