Union des Transports Aeriennes
Union des Transports Aeriennes (UTA) (
United Transit Airlines in the
English language) was a
French international airline. It operated principally between
France and former French colonial possessions in
Africa and the
Indian Ocean. The airline was purchased in 1990 by
Air France.
UTA Flight 772, which was flying on a Brazzaville-N'Djamena-Charles De Gaulle International Airport near Paris route, was bombed over Niger on 19 September 1989. Everyone on board died.
This airline is not to be confused with Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée.
