The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) review was led by an independent lead reviewer, Jeremy Newman, who was supported by a challenge panel and a team of Department for Transport (DfT) officials.

The review concluded that the CAA fulfils a critical role as the UK바카라 사이트s aviation safety regulator. It recommends protecting the CAA바카라 사이트s status as a public corporation.

The review identified areas where improvements should be made:

  • governance 바카라 사이트 CAA바카라 사이트s accountability to DfT, and how DfT exercises its role as the sponsoring department
  • accountability 바카라 사이트 CAA바카라 사이트s relationship with its stakeholders (including consumers and freight)
  • efficiency 바카라 사이트 improving CAA바카라 사이트s financial efficiency and service delivery
  • efficacy 바카라 사이트 the role of CAA바카라 사이트s Board, consumer powers, risk appetite for new and emerging technologies and economic regulation

DfT ministers and the CAA바카라 사이트s board endorsed the review바카라 사이트s 24 recommendations in May 2023.

The review met with and consulted extensively with a wide range of stakeholders. Its conclusions were also informed by the 444 responses to its call for evidence from organisations and individuals regulated by or impacted by the CAA. The review also interviewed officials from both DfT and the CAA.
