European Union Aviation Safety Agency

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is an agency of the European Union responsible for ensuring safe and efficient air travel within Europe. Established in 2003, EASA sets safety standards for aircraft, oversees their design and maintenance, and regulates pilot training and operations. It works to harmonize aviation safety rules across EU member states, making air travel safer and more consistent. By assessing risks and providing guidance, EASA helps prevent accidents and promotes high safety standards in the European aviation industry, fostering public confidence in air travel.
