Aviation Authority review

for decades to come
The government has today (28 November 2022) launched a call for evidence as
part of its review of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the UK’s independent
aviation regulator.
Open to all interested parties, it will provide an opportunity
for anybody who uses the CAA or is affected by its work
– including airlines, airports, pilots and passengers – to
provide insight and evidence to inform the government review, on
everything from the CAA’s strategy, to its
organisation and performance.
The call for evidence will close on 22nd January 2022. It will
ask questions such as whether the CAA has the right powers to
effectively regulate the aviation market, whether its charges are
good value for money, and whether it is effectively structured.
The wider CAA
Review began in August this year and
forms part of the Cabinet Office’s Public
Bodies Review Programme, which aims to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of public bodies. Led by an
independent reviewer, Jeremy Newman, also a member of the UK’s
Competition and Markets Authority, the review will run until
spring 2023.
The CAA has a
number of functions, including ensuring the highest standards of
aviation safety and security, the efficient use of airspace and
space operations and protecting consumer rights. The review aims
to help the organisation build on its success in tackling the
unprecedented challenges of recent years.
