Entebbe International Airport is the main international airport of Uganda . It is located near the town of Entebbe , on the shores of Lake Victoria , and about 35 km (21 miles) from the capital Kampala .

Entebbe was the site of a Seaplane base in the late 1930s, built by the British in order to facilitate long-range flights from Great Britain to South Africa and other points. Runways were added in 1947 , and a terminal building was ceremonially opened by then-Princess Elizabeth ( Queen Elizabeth II ) in 1951 .

The airport was the scene of an international hostage rescue operation, dubbed Operation Entebbe , in 1976 .
