BRUSSELS AIR, AIR UGANDA SIGN PACT

By Baluku Geoffrey
Kampala, Uganda
An interline agreement was on Monday 6th October 2008 signed between Air Uganda and Brussels Airlines. This now makes it possible for the two carriers to accept each others tickets for services on the Juba – Brussels and EntebbeNairobi routes.
Air Uganda chief executive Peter de Waal and Brussels Airlines country manager Pierre Declerk hailed the agreement as a break through for their respective airlines. Declerk went on to say that “this was the beginning of a fruitful cooperation which will enable their customers to easily connect from Nairobi or Entebbe to other European destinations” thereby making Brussels airlines the first European airline to enter a regional partnership with Air Uganda.

Declerk further noted that the special prorate agreement would allow both carriers to offer attractive fares on the same electronic ticket as with one bill, the safety of the cargo was assured and that despite the generous baggage allowance that Brussels offers, clients will still be allowed to forward their shipments more easily between the two airlines.
