History

Sky Travel and Aviation was a privately owned airline established in South Sudan in 2019. The carrier was headquartered in Juba, the country's capital, and used Juba International Airport as its principal hub. Its launch took place in the context of limited regional air connectivity and an emerging commercial aviation sector in South Sudan. The airline commenced operations on 19 October 2019. Its first flight operated from Juba to Gulu Airport in Uganda, creating a direct scheduled connection between South Sudan and northern Uganda. The route was initially planned as a twice-weekly service. Gulu was the only publicly documented destination outside South Sudan at the time of launch, while Juba served as the carrier's South Sudanese base. Contemporary descriptions of the airline's plans suggested that the route could later be expanded if demand increased. In particular, Sky Travel and Aviation was expected to consider connecting Gulu with Entebbe International Airport, Uganda's principal international aviation hub. This proposed extension would have enabled a broader regional network, but the available reference material does not confirm that the service was introduced. The documented history of Sky Travel and Aviation is limited. The available sources do not identify the airline's founder, aircraft fleet, executives, parent company, detailed ownership structure, financial performance, or subsequent route additions. They also do not establish whether the carrier remained in service after the initial 2019 launch period. For that reason, the airline's current operating status cannot be determined from the supplied material.
