Compagnie Africaine d'Aviation (CAA) is a Congolese regional airline based in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It operates domestic and regional passenger and cargo services, serving destinations across the vast country where ground transportation is extremely limited.

CAA has historically operated a mixed fleet of propeller and jet aircraft suited to the short and medium-haul routes linking Kinshasa with provincial cities and towns throughout the DRC.
