The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is a prominent Cologne, Germany-based regulatory body of the European Union. Its primary mission is to ensure the highest common level of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. EASA’s main activities include certifying aircraft and aviation products, developing and monitoring safety rules, and providing expert advice on aviation legislation. It plays a crucial role in standardising aviation safety across EU and EFTA member states, fostering a single regulatory and certification process, and promoting European and global aviation standards.
