In order to woo customers,Uganda airlines has included free food that comprises of Rolex and Katogo on their menu.
Yesterday, Uganda Airlines had its first commercial flights from Entebbe International Airport with one headed to Nairobi and another to Juba, South Sudan.
In efforts to make the airline expression purely Ugandan, rolex and katogo have been included on the menu.
Jennifer Bamuturaki the Uganda Airlines Commercial Director , during a press conference at Uganda Media Centre said the airline food will not be sold to all classes.
”It will be provided for free to all classes. Some of the food among others that will be served is rolex, katogo and later luwombo if the customers suggest,” Bamuturaki said.
She disclosed that later , luwombo will also be included if the customers suggest.
To boost convenience for the clients, Bamuturaki also revealed that customers with luggage will also not be charged an extra fee.
However, yesterday, the Airline to Nairobi reportedly carried eight passengers, five of whom were journalists who did not book their tickets by cash. They included; Workers’ Union head Usher Wilson Owere who was accompanied by his wife, and a one Peter Ssenkungu, the only passengers who were not media personnel.
Contrary to reports that the airline could have scooped Shs 8m from its flight to Nairobi, the Airline definitely might not have not cashed in on at least 6 of the passengers aboard the flight to JKIA. The same ordeal befell the Juba bound plane.
On another sad note, the inaugural flight on Tuesday cost the company up to 120 million shillings. However, Jennifer Bamutulaki Musiime, the Marketing and Commercial Director of the Airlines say the offer to several officials, celebrities and business operators across the country was a way to market the airline to all the people across the region.
Currently , the confirmed flight destinations include; Nairobi, Mogadishu, Kilimanjaro, Juba, Mombasa, Dar Es Salaam and Bujumbura.
And for anyone that would like to book a flight has to either go to the Airline offices at Victoria University building or visit their website.
