Meridiana Africa Airlines (Uganda) Limited, trading as Air Uganda,[2] was a privately owned airline in Uganda from 2007 to 2014. It suspended its operations when the Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) revoked the airline's air operator's certificate.[3]

Air Uganda had been widely recognized as the national carrier since the collapse of Uganda Airlines in May 2001.[4]

Headquartered in Kampala,[5] with its operations base at Entebbe International Airport, Air Uganda used three aircraft to operate scheduled flights between Entebbe and various destinations in eastern and central Africa.
