East African Airways
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
East African Airways Corp. (EAAC) was an airline jointly run by three countries in East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania; and Uganda, which were then part of an East African Community. When this was dissolved in 1977, each country established its own national airline: Kenya Airways, Uganda Airlines; and Air Tanzania.
