Every flight runs from Entebbe. From there the Grand Caravan reaches fourteen airfields — the park gates, the regional towns and the strips the road takes a day to reach.

Who We Answer To, And Who We Fly With
-
UGANDA CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY
The government body that regulates all flying in Ugandan airspace — licensing operators, certifying aircraft and crew, and overseeing safety. Asante holds a UCAA Air Operator Certificate (UG/CAA/AOC/009) and Air Service Licences for scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo operations. Every Asante flight is planned, released and followed under that certificate.
-
UGANDA TOURISM BOARD
Uganda's national tourism authority, responsible for marketing the country and setting standards for the tourism trade. Asante's scheduled park network — Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kidepo — is part of the air access that makes those destinations reachable, and supports the Board's work to grow Uganda as a gorilla-trekking and safari destination.
-
ASSOCIATION OF UGANDA TOUR OPERATORS
The trade association for Uganda's licensed tour and travel operators, setting a code of conduct and representing members to government. These are the companies Asante flies for every day — moving their clients between the parks by air — and being part of AUTO keeps the airline working to the same professional standard.
