Fast-growing cargo and passenger handling company, Aviation Ground Service (AGS) will from today Wednesday, commence the passenger handling of Uganda Airlines flights into Harare’s RG Mugabe International Airport in Zimbabwe.
AGS is the premier aviation ground handling service provider in Zimbabwe specializing in Passenger, Aircraft, Warehousing and Cargo Handling.
The East African carrier commences thrice weekly flights from Ugandan capital, Entebbe to Harare, one of Southern Africa’s economic hubs and gateway into the region.
The three-times-a-week flights will be operated using the airline’s modern fleet of Airbus A330-800neo and Bombardier CRJ-900.
AGS has been successful in winning the contract to serve Uganda Airlines as a new customer in Zimbabwe.
This comes after demonstrating our high standards in handling both passenger and cargo airlines across Zimbabwe’s major airports in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Caleb Mudyawabikwa the Managing Director of Aviation Grounds Services said, “With Uganda Airlines we have entered the East African market. We are excited to add Uganda Airlines to our customer base. We aim to provide the airline with our world-class passenger and ground handling services while strengthening our ambitions to serve more airlines in Zimbabwe”.
“AGS demonstrated to us that they are a perfect partner to support our expansion in Zimbabwe. Their proven track record of handling cargo flights and up to 100 passenger flights a week in Zimbabwe with top-class customer service assured us that they are a perfect partner for Uganda Airlines. We look forward to welcoming Zimbabwean passengers onboard our flights as they fly the Crane to the Pearl of Africa”, said Jennifer Bamuturaki the Chief Executive Officer for Uganda Airlines.
In 2023, AGS obtained a passenger handling license after decades dedicated to cargo operations in Zimbabwe. Currently, the handler operates from three international airports in Zimbabwe mainly, Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
