UK and Israel strenghen aviation ties

LONDON - The UK Civil Aviation Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Israel have signed a working arrangement, which will lead to closer collaboration and boosts international trade. The framework will lead to less complexity in validation and acceptance of aviation certificates.

The agreement between the two authorities was signed 20 April 2023 by Rob Bishton, the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s Interim Joint Chief Executive, and Benny Davidor, Director of the Airworthiness Division at the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel.

"Both authorities will work closely together to reduce administrative burdens and duplicative efforts by allowing each country to rely on the other's safety oversight systems," a statement says.

The working arrangement provides an overarching framework for enhancing the cooperation between the two authorities and will facilitate the mutual recognition of each other's aviation products and services.

"The signing today is the first step in helping to reduce the duplication of activity and to establish the principles enabling the validation or acceptance of certificates", Bishton said.
