Entebbe Business Jet Movements Crash 68%; Juba Corridor Nearly Disappears; Kigali Steady +6% Takes Over East African Hub Role
Analysis
January–May 24, 2026, HUEN (Entebbe) business jet movements crashed from 621 to 196 (−68.4%); core reason is Juba-Entebbe corridor nearly disappearing (2025 inbound/outbound combined over 200 movements; 2026 Juba is no longer in Top 5). In same period, HRYR (Kigali) slight +5.7% (105 → 111); Nairobi jumped to Kigali's most core connection city (arrivals 16 vs. 2025's 4); Beijing first entered Kigali Top 5 arrival cities — showing China-Africa business route new dynamics. Entebbe's cliff drop may relate to South Sudan peacekeeping/humanitarian mission reduction; Kigali is gradually taking on East African business aviation hub function. Confidence ★★ (AviGo data clear; South Sudan mission reduction is reasonable inference but lacks direct KG confirmation).
