2 September 2014
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) revealed on 1 September 2014 a new organisation which aims at preparing the Agency for the challenges of the coming years.
The new organisation is aimed at helping the Agency to engage more pragmatically with the aviation industry. A strategy and safety management directorate has been created in order to strengthen EASA’s overall strategy and to promote a data driven and performance-based approach to managing safety. All regulatory functions have been integrated across the different aviation domains and more homogeneity has been introduced to better enable the Agency to speak with one voice.
Patrick Ky, EASA Executive Director explained, “This new organisation will reinforce the role of EASA at the centre of the European aviation regulatory system, in partnership with the member states and in support of the growth and development of the aviation industry”.
The new organisation, which became effective on 1 September, also prepares EASA for new opportunities to enhance its role. These may derive from the ongoing revision of the Agency’s founding regulation that will be finalised in the first quarter of 2015.
