Uganda Airlines · UR · Entebbe ⇄ Lagos ⇄ Accra · Four times a week since 27 October 2026
On Tuesday 27 October 2026, flight UR900 touched down at Accra International Airport in the early afternoon heat, and Ghana gained its fourth East African airline, after Ethiopian, Kenya Airways and Air Tanzania. Uganda Airlines now links Entebbe and Accra four times a week, with one stop in Lagos, in just under seven hours. Before, the same journey meant a change in Addis Ababa or Nairobi and up to ten hours on the road. Here is how the route works, what you fly on, the entry rules, and what waits at the other end: mountain gorillas, the source of the Nile, and the AFCON 2027 tournament Uganda co-hosts.
All times local. Uganda is three hours ahead of Ghana; Nigeria one hour ahead. Four flights a week; check the days of operation when you book.
| Flight | Departs | Stop | Arrives | Aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UR900 | Entebbe 10:00 | Lagos, arrive 12:30, depart 13:30 | Accra 13:55 | Boeing 737-800 |
| Return | Accra 19:00 | via Lagos | Entebbe 04:55 next morning | Boeing 737-800 |
What the Lagos stop means
The flight lands in Lagos for about an hour before continuing. Ghana has granted Uganda Airlines "fifth freedom" rights on the Lagos–Accra sector, so the airline can also sell tickets just between Lagos and Accra, alongside Africa World Airlines, Air Peace, Ibom Air, United Nigeria Airlines and ValueJet. If you fly Entebbe–Accra, follow the crew's instructions in Lagos and keep your boarding pass for the second leg.
