Download: CAA's strategy [PDF 5.7 MB]
Our strategy:
- sets out our role in the civil aviation system, the activities we do, and how we deliver,
- details the impact that we want to make, where we will focus our efforts, and how we will know if we’ve been successful, and
- is our north star to guide us in the right direction and enable us to prioritise our investment and resource.
In developing this strategy, we have considered:
- Minister and Government expectations
The Minister sets annual expectations of CAA. The Minister also released an Aviation Action Plan which sets out the Government’s ambition for aviation and identifies specific actions for CAA to contribute to those outcomes.
- Board strategic priorities
The strategy takes into account the priorities of the Board.
- Public expectations
We listen to concerns raised by the public and seek to understand public expectations, including through collecting feedback from users of the aviation system in our ‘Feel Safe’ survey.
- Sector perspectives
We have met with a range of leaders and operators across aviation who have told us that responsiveness, timeliness, quality and consistency of decisions are important to the sector.
- International Civil Aviation Organization
ICAO is a specialised agency of the United Nations and sets global standards for aviation safety and security that we are obliged to align with. ICAO publish the Global Aviation Safety Plan and the Global Aviation Security Plan – the global strategies for the continuous improvement of aviation safety and security.
- National aviation safety and security plans
These are state-level documents that guide us on the areas that we will focus on to improve safety and security.
