4. Duty of EASA Air transport is one of the safest modes of travel. It is also the fastest growing. That is why the European Union decided on a common initiative to keep air transport safe and sustainable, allowing for growth and improved safety. The European Aviation Safety Agency promotes the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation in Europe and worldwide.

5. Organization Approval To obtain approval to be an aeronautical repair station, an organization must write, submit and keep updated a 'Maintenance Organization Exposition. To support their 'Maintenance Organization Exposition they must have a documented set of procedures. The organization must have a compliance matrix to show how they meet the requirements.

9. Functions The JAA's work began in 1970. A certification code was in order to meet the needs of European Industry and particularly for products manufactured by international consortia. Since 1987 its work has been extended to operations, maintenance, licensing and certification/design standards for all classes of aircraft. EU Member States national regulation in the airworthiness domain has been replaced by EU Regulation and certification tasks. Non EU States maintain their responsibility in all fields.

12. Functions The CAA directly or indirectly regulates all aspects of aviation in the UK. Some aspects of aviation is the primary regulator in other areas, where the responsibility for regulation has passed to EASA, the CAA will act as EASA's local office.

13. The Complementary Tasks As a National Aviation Authority, the CAA still has a statutory duty to exercise full rulemaking and oversight responsibility for all those aspects not being adopted by EASA. Continuous improvement and enhanced risk-based performance monitoring by UK CAA will be key to meeting these responsibilities.

21. Mission IATA’s stated mission is to represent, lead and serve the airline industry. All the Airline rules and regulations are defined by IATA. The main aim of IATA is to provide safe and secure transportation to its passengers.

22. Activities Price setting Originally both domestic and international aviation were highly regulated by IATA. This led to the formation of bilateral "open skies" agreements that weakened IATA's price fixing role. In recent years the organization has been accused of acting as a cartel, and many low cost carriers are not full IATA members Other activities assign 3-letter Airport Codes and 2-letter airline designators, which are commonly used worldwide. IATA administrates worldwide the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) and Cargo Accounts Settlement Systems (CASS) that serve as a facilitator of the sales, reporting and remittance of accredited travel and cargo agencies. Both settlement programmers are ruled by standards and resolutions.
