The flight activities of Air Uganda and all other international air carriers in Uganda have been hit by the unprecedented move by Uganda’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to suspend the operating licences of all carriers flying outside of the country following an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audit.

According to a report by eTurboNews, ICAO concluded a review of Uganda’s civil aviation systems, structures and operations on June 17, 2014 and after identifying anomalies in the regulator's control procedures and adherence to international standards, the CAA informed all international operators that all Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for international operations had been withdrawn and a new recertification process will be undertaken.

“Air Uganda is working closely with the CAA to complete the processes required to resolve the matter in the shortest possible period,” said Cornwell Muleya, chief executive officer, Air Uganda, in a statement.
