A proposed mega international airport in Mbarara has sparked intense debate among aviation experts, economists, and policymakers in Uganda. The ambitious project aims to transform Uganda into a major global aviation hub connecting Asia and South America through long-haul transit routes. Planned near Mbarara City, the airport would feature two massive runways and world-class infrastructure designed to handle significant passenger and cargo traffic. However, analysts question the project’s economic viability, citing limited market demand, weak airline capacity, and Uganda’s existing aviation challenges. The proposal raises important questions about infrastructure priorities, regional competition, and long-term aviation strategy.
