Aerolink Uganda Limited is a private domestic airline in Uganda that provides charter and scheduled flights to the country’s national parks. Aerolink flights start from either Entebbe International Airport or Kajjansi Airfield.
The airline was established in 2012, and its headquarters are located at Entebbe International Airport.
The airline has been helpful for travelers who don’t have enough time to visit Uganda’s national parks by road. For example, it takes about 2 hours to fly to Bwindi, compared to 9 to 11 hours by road.

About Uganda, the Pearl of Africa
Uganda, also called the Pearl of Africa, is one of the world’s top tourist destinations.
The country is home to half of the world’s endangered mountain gorilla population, over 1,000 bird species, various wildlife, the largest freshwater lake in the world, the world’s longest river, and some of the most powerful waterfalls.
Why Aerolink Suits Time-Conscious Travelers
For visitors juggling a tight itinerary across multiple parks, such as combining gorilla trekking in Bwindi with game drives in Queen Elizabeth or Murchison Falls, Aerolink’s network of domestic flights can turn what would otherwise be days of driving into a much more manageable multi-park safari. This makes it a particularly practical choice for travelers who want to see several of Uganda’s signature destinations without sacrificing large portions of their trip to long road transfers.
