TitleCommercial Pilot at Uganda National Airlines Company

Tina Drazu is a Ugandan airline transport pilot, who has served as a First Officer at Uganda National Airlines Company, Uganda's national carrier airline, on the A330-841 aircraft, since February 2021.[1] Before that, since April 2019, she was a first officer on the CRJ 900 aircraft, at the same airline.[2] As of October 2023 she was one of the only two female first officers on the A330-841 at the airline.[3]

Background and education

Drazu was born in Arua District, in West Nile sub-region, in the Northern Region of Uganda. She obtained her Commercial pilot licence from Cape Flying Services in South Africa in 2010.[2]

In 2020, she was among the pilots selected to undergo training on the A330-800 equipment. She successfully completed the type rating training at the Airbus Training Center in Miami, Florida, United States, in late 2020.[4]

Career

Drazu spent one year and three months flying with Asante Airlines in South Sudan, from January 2011 until March 2012. She was then employed by Aerolink Uganda from July 2012 to April 2019, as a line pilot.[2] In 2013, while at Aerolink, she made Captain on the Cessna 208 Caravan equipment.[5][6]

In April 2019, she was hired by Uganda National Airlines Company, as one of a small number of female pilots at the airline.[7] As of February 2021, Drazu was one of five female aviators at Uganda Airlines, out of 50 pilots at the airline. She and Vanita Kayiwa were the only two females who were members of the cockpit crew on the A330-841 aircraft at Uganda Airlines, at that time.[8] Tina Drazu and her co-worker Vanita Kayiwa are role models for young Ugandan women who want to pursue a career in aviation. The two have gone further than any woman before them.[1]

Other considerations

As of April 2024, she is the elected General Secretary of the Uganda Professional Pilots' Association (UPPA).[9]
