On the 8th of June 2014, a group of Taliban insurgents invaded and occupied Jinnah international Airport (Karachi, Pakistan) for several hours. While the Pakistani security forces later re-captured the airport, it was attacked for a second and third time, with the subsequent attacks failing to re-capture the facility. In response to the deteriorating security situation at the airport facility, a number of airlines temporarily scaled back or suspended their operations to Karachi. By late June 2014, the majority of these airlines had recommenced standard operations to Karachi.

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.
