Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) - Head Office - Entebbe

AIR TRANSPORT services in Uganda started with the flying boats that landed at Port Bell, Luzira at the shores of Lake Victoria, to deliver mail. This was an extension of the Wilson Airways that itself started air operations in neighboring Kenya in 1929. In 1946, the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCA) was formed, followed by the construction of the country’s airport at Entebbe in 1947. Entebbe International Airport was commissioned by princess Elizabeth of England in 1952.

Following the establishment of the East African Community, civil aviation services were under a DCA and several government departments, leading to segmentation. The need to harmonise and efficiently run the services led to the establishment of the Civil Aviation Authority in 1991.
