Mr Roger Wamara, the Sales Manager of SN Brussels Uganda branch, said airlines miscalculated the trend of tourist movement into the country this time around and have been overwhelmed by the numbers.
"This year the airlines had a miscalculation on the number of tourists coming to have summer holidays in Uganda.The number that came increased dramatically," he said.
He, however, said despite the inconvenience of numbers, the airlines were making good on profits.SN Brussels charges $1,079 for major destinations to Europe in Economy Class and $2,000 for Business Class travellers.
As a measure to solve the congestion problem he said SN Brussels has changed its flight time table with effects from September 1 to October 30 as follows: Mondays arrival 2205 departure 2300 SN 481, Wednesdays arrival 2205 departure 2300 SN 481, Friday arrival 2205 departure 2300 SN 481.
