The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the UK's specialist aviation regulator. We ensure the aviation industry meets the highest safety standards; protect consumers by making sure they have choice and value and are treated fairly; drive improvements in airlines and airports’ environmental performance; and ensure that the industry manages security risks effectively.
We have around 1,000 employees following a wide variety of different career paths. Most are based in our two main offices, in London near Holborn and close to Gatwick Airport in Sussex. We have smaller regional offices at Stirling, Manchester and Luton.
As the UK's specialist aviation regulator we work so that:
We are a public corporation, established by Parliament in 1972 as an independent specialist aviation regulator. The UK Government requires that our costs are met entirely from charges to those we provide a service to or regulate.
Most aviation regulation and policy is harmonised across the world to ensure consistent levels of safety and consumer protection. Worldwide safety regulations are set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and within Europe by the European Aviation Safety Agency.
We run the ATOL holiday financial protection scheme.
We also economically regulate some airports and certain aspects of air traffic control.
Our consumer panel acts as a ‘critical friend’ providing a consumer perspective on all aspects of our work.

The CAA is committed to ensuring equality of opportunity. It is our policy to treat all employees and job applicants fairly and equally regardless of any protected characteristic.
In respect of recruitment, career progression and development, the CAA will ensure that no requirement or condition will be imposed without justification that could disadvantage an individual on any of the above grounds. Wherever possible, efforts will be made to identify and remove unnecessary or unjustifiable barriers and provide appropriate facilities and employment conditions to meet the needs of any underrepresented groups.
We are committed to the implementation of this policy and to a programme of action to ensure that the policy is, and continues to be, fully effective. We will regularly review supporting policies, procedures and selection criteria to ensure that individuals are selected, promoted and otherwise treated according to their relevant individual abilities and merits. All employees are required to attend equality and diversity awareness training.
