Airline can make quick, structured and accurate scheduling decisions

Integrated solution creates and evaluates flight schedules via graphic displays

Uganda Airlines has signed a new deal with travel technology provider Amadeus and become the first African carrier to deploy Amadeus SkyWORKS. The flight schedule development solution provides the flag-carrier with an integrated workbench, featuring powerful editing capabilities, real-time feasibility checking, and all the capabilities required for schedule reporting and distribution. The solution both increases efficiency and provides flexibility to schedule planning.

“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 Lamar Ag. 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 Mellak VP Sales and Account Management, META, Amadeus

Launched in 2019, Uganda Airlines connects East African tourist destinations such as Lake Victoria and Victoria Falls to South Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The carrier is currently expanding its reach through new airline partnerships, such as a recent interline partnership with Air India.
