Union des Transports Aeriens (UTA) (United Transit Airlines in the English language) was a French international airline. It operated principally between France and former French colonial possessions in Africa and the Indian Ocean, as well as to destinations in Southeast Asia, New Caledonia, Tahiti, Australia and New Zealand. The airline was purchased in 1990 by Air France.

UTA Flight 772, which was flying on a Brazzaville-N'Djamena-Charles De Gaulle International Airport near Paris route, was bombed over Niger on 19 September 1989. All 156 passengers and 15 crew members on board died.

This airline is not to be confused with Union des Transports Aériens de Guinée.
