Government opens review of CAA
The government will conduct a full independent review of the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) .
It aims to ‘strengthen the regulator for the future ‘and ‘achieve improvements in aviation and aerospace for consumers and the public.’
“Civil aviation regulation is the lynchpin of an industry which pre-pandemic carried millions of passengers every year, contributed £22 billion to our economy and supported nearly one million jobs, “noted Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.
The review will look at five main areas including its efficiency now and for the future, corporate governance and how it interacts with the Department for Transport.
The review is led by Competition and Markets Authority member Jeremy Newman and is expected to last until spring 2023.
Sir Stephen Hillier, Chair of the Civil Aviation Authority said: “We welcome the opportunity this review presents to highlight the dedication and continuous learning culture of our organisation, whilst identifying any areas for improvement.”
