Connecting the Democratic Republic of Congo by air.
Headquarters
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) is a Congolese regional airline operating within the Democratic Republic of Congo and to select destinations in sub-Saharan Africa. The carrier provides essential air transport services in a country where road and rail infrastructure is severely limited, making aviation a critical link between communities.
The airline holds an Air Operator Certificate issued by the DRC civil aviation authority and has historically operated charter and scheduled passenger flights. Like many regional carriers in Central Africa, CAA has navigated a challenging operating environment marked by regulatory scrutiny, infrastructure constraints, and economic pressures.
CAA is among the smaller operators in the DRC aviation market and has faced periods of suspension from EU airspace under the European Commission's safety list, a restriction that has affected a number of Congolese carriers.
Hubs & network
The airline's primary hub is N'djili International Airport (FIH) in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Fleet
CAA has operated small turboprop and piston aircraft suited to short regional routes within the DRC.
