Experts have said that the just concluded automation, alongside the ongoing expansion works will help improve the security and safety of Entebbe International Airport.
The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority in 2016 embarked on a 40billion shillings automation process that included the establishment and operationalization of an Airport Operations Database, a Computerized Maintenance Management system and a Terminal Operations Control Centre at Entebbe International Airport that were yesterday commissioned by the State Minister for Works and Transport, Hon. Fred Byamukama.
Hon. Byamukama said the Ugandan government is committed to supporting and providing an enabling environment for the growth of the aviation industry in the country to spur economic development.
He applauded President Museveni for inviting South Korean “friends” who funded the automation project at a cost of 40 billion and of this, Uganda paid only four billion shillings. END
