Captain Clive Okoth (born circa 1982) is a Ugandan airline pilot, who serves as a captain at Uganda National Airlines Company, Uganda's national carrier airline, on the CRJ 900 aircraft, effective April 2019.[1]
Okoth was born in Uganda. After early education in Ugandan schools, he went on to train at the East African Civil Aviation Academy in Soroti, in the Eastern Region of Uganda. Later, he obtained further pilot training outside the country. He holds a Commercial Pilot Licence and an ICAO Airline Transport Pilots License.[2]
Okoth's first job, out of flight school, was with the now defunct Air Uganda. While there, he served as a First Officer on the CRJ200 and he made Captain on the aircraft class before the airline closed shop. When Air Uganda folded in 2014, he moved on to Arik Air Limited, based at Lagos International Airport, in Lagos State, Nigeria. At Arik Air, Okoth served as Captain on the CRJ700, CRJ900 and CRJ1000.[1] [2] [3]
In 2018, he was hired by the revived Uganda Airlines. He is one of the flight crew who piloted the two maiden aircraft from Mirabel, Quebec, Canada, to Entebbe, Uganda, in April 2019.[1] [2] As of May 2019, Okoth had accumulated nearly 6,000 flight hours in the cockpit, with over 2,000 flight hours, in the cockpit of CRJ900 aircraft.[4] As of December 2019, he had piloted the CRJ 200, the MD 87, the CRJ 900 and the CRJ 1000 aircraft. At that time, he was the youngest flight captain among the Uganda Airlines flight crew.[2]
At Uganda Airlines he is one the first CRJ900 captains that the airline hired in 2019. He participated in the establishment of the revived Uganda National Airlines in 2019. He was part of the cockpit crew who delivered the first pair of CRJs in April 2019. He is involved in managing the CRJ fleet since then. He serves a training Captain for First Officers and prospective Captains on the airline's CRJ900 aircraft.[3]
Captain Okoth has also piloted authorized "scenic viewing" flights from Entebbe Airport over various parts of Uganda in UR CRJ900 equipment.[5]
