A focused review of the Irish Aviation Authority’s (IAA) role as national civil aviation regulator was completed in 2021. The independent review, carried out by Bureau Veritas, focused on areas of regulation that are outside the EU regulatory framework. The scope of the review covered the full range of activities in respect of aircraft operations, airworthiness, licensing, aerodromes and air navigation services. The review did not cover search and rescue, as this was the subject of a separate review carried out as part of the 2019 Section 32 Examination of the IAA.
The report of the review was published on 28 January 2022 on the Department of Transport’s website: www.gov.ie/en/publication/2598f-publication-of-report-of-review-of-the-iaa/.
