Choosing an Aviation Operator for Oil & Gas in Uganda

Aviation is mission-critical for oil & gas operations — and the wrong partner is a real risk. Here's what to weigh when selecting an operator in Uganda.

Safety and certification first

Confirm a valid Air Operator Certificate, a credible safety record and in-house maintenance. KEA operates under Uganda AOC 097, with AOCs in Chad and South Sudan and AMO approvals in five countries.

Remote-site and cross-border capability

Energy work happens away from main airports and across borders. Short-field aircraft, helicopter access and multi-country licensing are essential — see remote site operations.

Medevac and 24/7 response

A casualty plan is non-negotiable. Look for contracted medevac standby with 24/7 activation.

One accountable partner

Fewer handovers means lower risk. KEA plans, crews and maintains operations in-house. Learn more about our oil & gas aviation service, or call +256 776 333 114.
