Uganda Aviation Academy (UAA) is a privately owned aviation training school that provides training for prospective pilots, cabin crew staff, aviation customer managers, and other aviation-related professionals in Uganda. Established in Soroti in 2011, the school has since moved to the 6th Floor of Metropole House on Entebbe Road in Kampala, Uganda’s capital and largest city.
UAA was established to address the dire shortage of flight professionals in the region and Uganda in particular. The school offers a range of courses, including the Airline Cabin Crew Course, the Airline Customer Service Course, and the Aviation Security Awareness Course. The courses are designed to meet the demands of the aviation industry, ensuring that graduates are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful careers in aviation.
The school has graduated a total of 300 students in six graduation ceremonies to date, as of March 2019. The graduates have been hired by regional and international airlines, including Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Air India, Rwandair, and Kenya Airways.
UAA is awaiting government approval to use Entebbe International Airport as a training base for its student pilots. The approval will enable the school to provide practical training for its students, further enhancing the quality of its programs.
