Regulation and compliance in aviation are critical for ensuring safety, security, and efficiency in air travel. The regulatory framework is established by international bodies like the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets global standards through its annexes, covering areas such as airworthiness, flight crew licensing, and air navigation services.
National and regional authorities, such as the FAA in the U.S. and EASA in the EU, tailor these standards to their specific contexts. Compliance measures include rigorous safety audits, inspections, and training programs. These regulations help mitigate risks, enhance operational safety, and maintain public trust in the aviation industry.
