He said: “It has been difficult accessing Asmara for Ugandan travelers. Many travellers have had to pass through Nairobi,” however, he said “the new initiative shall provide an airline route from Uganda, through Asmara to Dubai.”"
Presently, Nasair serves Asmara, Juba, Khartoum, Nairobi, Dubai, Jeddah and now Entebbe, which it serves with a fleet of three Boeing 737-200s.
The first half of this year has seen a tremendous establishment of presence for Eritrea's aviation industry, with Eritrean Airlines, with whom Nasair merged to form Nasair Eritrea in 2011, restarting discontinued destinations in Europe and reaching out to new ones in Africa (in particular South Africa)
