Union des Transports Africains de Guinée, often referred to as Union des Transports Africains (UTA), was a Guinean and Lebanese regional airline. It operated for only three years, and shut down operations after the passenger and cargo mismanagement that caused its Flight 141 to become overloaded, preventing it from properly taking off and causing it to crash into the sea .
Accidents and incidents[]
