Uganda Airlines has made history by becoming the first airline in Africa to use Amadeus SkyWORKS, a new tool to help airlines better plan their flights. Amadeus is a leading global travel company. Adding their tools to the Uganda Airlines reservation system helps them schedule their flights easier, see if a flight is possible in planning, run reports, and helps the airline grow. Uganda Airlines uses Amadeus to help maintain and update their systems.

Amadeus SkyWORKS offers additional tools for schedule editing and distribution and automatically keeps tabs on the feasibility of schedules. The platform enables Uganda Airlines to control and develop its flight schedule with more flexibility and efficiency.

“Rollout of SkyWORKS provides our teams with numerous schedule views to evaluate different business scenarios and offers us a central repository for all schedule‑related information. The solution will be a transformative addition to our technology stack, accelerating our growth across East Africa and further afield.” Shakila Rahim LamarAg. Chief Commercial Officer, Uganda Airlines.

“Our partnership with Uganda Airlines continues to evolve, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation and operational excellence. We have collaborated on Altéa, revenue and loyalty management, and now we are deepening the relationship with the implementation of Amadeus SkyWORKS. This advanced solution will provide greater flexibility and control in schedule management, powered by an innovative technology stack for improved usability”. Yassine MellakVP Sales and Account Management, META, Amadeus.

Launched in 2019, Uganda Airlines has developed a growing network connecting East Africa’s key tourism destinations, including attractions such as Lake Victoria and Victoria Falls, with destinations across Southern Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The national carrier continues to strengthen its global connectivity through strategic collaborations, including its recent interline agreement with Air India, aimed at expanding travel options and improving connections for passengers.
