On the 18th of June 2014, Uganda's civil aviation regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority of Uganda (CAA-U), suspended the International Air Operator Certificate's (AOC) of several Ugandan-based airlines. This suspension also included the operations of Air Uganda, who have temporarily grounded the majority of their fleet as a result. The CAA-U suspended the AOC's after an audit conducted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) revealed deficiencies in the regulators control and documentation procedures. All Ugandan-based International operators will be required to undergo a re-certification process before regaining their AOCs.

SriLankan Airlines officially joined the Oneworld airline alliance group on the 1st of May 2014. The airline became a member elect of the alliance group in June 2012. After becoming a member-elect, the airline and Oneworld initiated the integration process, which involved the aligning of SriLankan Airlines’ IT systems, products and services with other alliance members. SriLankan Airlines has subsequently become the first airline based in the Indian sub-continent to become an official member of a key airline alliance group. The airline’s admission will likely facilitate significant commercial and network opportunities for the airline.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) has officially cautioned Bangladesh-based airline, United Airways, that their Air Operators Certificate (AOC) could be suspended if the carrier fails to settle its current debts with the regulatory authority. The airline reportedly owes approximately US$0.99 million in outstanding service charges to the CAAB. The CAAB has subsequently limited the extension of the airline’s AOC to a three month period, rather than the standard 12 month period, in an attempt to recoup the outstanding fees. United Airways has reported consecutive years of positive financial performance over the past several financial periods, suggesting that the airline likely has access to sufficient financial resources to settle the outstanding debts.
