EBB Entebbe

How deep the EBB board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from EBB. This reads the same 23 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 18of the 23 destinations are flown by one airline
• 10destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 60.9%of the destinations name Uganda Airlines, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at EBB

15 airlines appear on the EBB board and they do not hold it evenly. Uganda Airlines is on 14 of the 23 destinations, 60.9 per cent of them, and on 10 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 20.8 of the 36.1 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is RwandAir on 2 destinations. 11 of the 15 airlines at EBB appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 14 of the 23 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an EBB sector is usually another Uganda Airlines aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at EBB than the destination count does.

How much of the EBB board is daily

Of the 23 destinations, 13 are flown at least once a day and 10 are not, though none of them drops to once a week or less. The median destination on the EBB board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.43 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: EBB to Lilongwe (LLW) is 3 a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 19.7 of the 36.1 departures a day, 54.6 per cent of the whole board. More than half of everything that leaves EBB is aimed at those five places, so the depth on the board above is thinner than the destination count suggests, and a hand carry that is not going to one of them is planned around a single departure time.

The ten destinations out of EBB where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable.

The way back from EBB

The desk holds the return direction for 20 of the 23 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into EBB runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Cairo (CAI) at 0.86 out a day against 0.43 back and Istanbul (IST) at 1.3 out a day against 0.71 back.

It runs the other way as well: Kigali (KGL) files 5.9 a day back into EBB against 2.3 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at EBB

EBB keeps Africa/Kampala time, an hour behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 08:00 at EBB, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for eight hours. That is wide enough to settle a customs question at EBB and still make a departure the same day.

The night at EBB

2 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from EBB that lands inside it leaves around 15:59, on a modelled block of 8h 01m. Into London (LGW) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from EBB that lands inside it leaves around 17:13, on a modelled block of 8h 17m. Those two departure times out of EBB are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where EBB turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Uganda country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 3 airport pair pages that start or end at EBB, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Entebbe to Nairobi (NBO), Entebbe to Addis Ababa (ADD) and Entebbe to Dubai (DXB).

One courier posting names EBB as the airport a courier here flies from: Kampala.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with EBB already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 23 destinations above.
