Fleet
CAA – Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (IATA: BU, ICAO: FPY) is a regional airline based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The carrier operates scheduled services across Central and West African routes, with its primary hub at Kinshasa International Airport, the largest airport in the country and a key gateway for the region.
Founded in 1992, CAA has developed a network focused on regional connectivity and domestic service. The airline's operational base in Kinshasa positions it as an important link within Central Africa, serving both capital-to-capital and regional secondary routes where air transport remains critical for connectivity.
The CAA fleet comprises three aircraft families: Airbus A321 narrow-body jets for higher-capacity regional routes, ATR 72 turboprops for shorter sectors and regional networks, and Fokker 50 turboprops for flexible operations on secondary routes. This mix of modern jets and proven turboprop platforms enables the airline to adapt scheduling and frequency to regional demand patterns.
