Soroti Flying School

Soroti Flying School, whose official name is East African Civil Aviation Academy, is a pilot training school in Uganda, the third-largest economy in the East African Community.

Location

The school is based at Soroti Airport, (IATA: SRT, ICAO: HUSO), in the town of Soroti in the Eastern Region of Uganda. Its location is approximately 228 kilometres (142 mi), by air, northeast of Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's largest civilian and military airport.[1] The coordinates of the airport are:1°43'15.0"N; 33°37'03.0"E (Latitude:1.720833; Longitude:33.617500).[2]

Recent developments

In late 2013, the Government of Uganda entered into preliminary discussions with Integra, a private Danish aviation company to improve and manage the school at International standards under a public-private-partnership (PPP) arrangement. Discussions at Cabinet level have also been held about returning the school to the East African Community (EAC), which established the school in the 1960s, but abandoned it when the first EAC collapsed in 1977.[3]
