Urban Air was an aircraft manufacturer based in the Czech Republic.
The company was a manufacturer of light sport and ultralight aircraft and employed 40 people. The company was founded in 1998 by five partners. Their first prototype made its inaugural flight in May 1996, thus pre-dating the company by two years. It had been in the design and production stages since 1992, when Pavel Urban, Karel Faltus, and Ing. Miloš Mládek started design. They were also assisted by Schempp-Hirth.
Production of the company's designs was taken up by Distar Air of Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic.
