The roadmap for the closing of the JAA system defined.
By AEI Editor
Published: April 26, 2008

Europe's Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) umbrella is no more. As of April 8 the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)  officially took over the operations and licensing responsibilities formerly conducted by the authorities. For the time being,  EASA will regulate using the Joint Aviation Requirements (JARs), but these will be absorbed into EU law by around 2012. The only role JAA will retain at its Hoofddorp base near Amsterdam will be to provide training for national aviation authorities' staff of non-EASA states that have been voluntary JAA members.
