The government in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Authority has assigned over $35 million for upgrading Kasese Aerodrome.

This was disclosed by the Deputy Managing Director of Civil Aviation Authority, Mr Rama Makuza, during the unveiling and awarding ceremony of certificates to Ugandan and Italian expeditors, who climbed Mountain Rwenzori, at the Uganda Museum last week.

Makuza said the Civil Aviation Authority had premeditated to progress the aerodrome in phases for five years, but the government had intervened to speed up the exercise because of the Commonwealth heads of state meeting next year.

He said that there is need to work hand in hand with UWA to develop infrastructure to boost tourism in Mountain Rwenzori and Queen Elizabeth among other tourist resorts

It is anticipated that the Queen of England during her visit to the country next year may visit the park.
Among the developments on the field will be inspiring, paving and redesigning of the aerodrome to standards that can accommodate F6 Boeing planes.
