Soroti Airport, located in the Eastern Region of Uganda, serves as a key transportation hub for the town of Soroti. Situated approximately 290 kilometers (180 miles) to the north-east of Kampala, Uganda’s capital and largest city, this airport boasts a well-maintained asphalt runway and apron, capable of accommodating aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 737 without causing damage to the surface. The airport is perched at an elevation of 3,697 feet (1,127 meters) above sea level, enhancing its accessibility for various flights.
Soroti Airport has an interesting history. Initially, it was established as a training ground for the British Overseas Airways Corporation to instruct their pilots in tropical flying techniques. Subsequently, it served as a facility for the East African Civil Aviation Academy, where pilots from the East African Community received their training. Today, the airport is home to the Soroti Flying School, which possesses a fleet of diverse aircraft, including a Cessna 310. The flying school offers comprehensive training, including instrument and multi-engine ratings, and provides facilities like dormitories, food services, and classrooms.
Although Soroti Airport currently does not host scheduled airline services, it remains operational for non-scheduled flights, primarily through Eagle Air Uganda. Furthermore, the airport has played a significant role in Uganda’s military activities, as it became the designated base for the United States-donated Bell Huey II military helicopters used by the Uganda People’s Defence Force in support of the AMISOM mission. This dual-purpose airport continues to contribute to regional development and aviation training in Uganda.
