中国民用航空局
China's civil-aviation authority for aviation safety, airlines, airports, air transport, airworthiness and major sector licensing.
CAAC oversight reaches operators, aircraft, airports, maintenance, flight standards, transport services and safety administration. The responsible office and approval path depend on the activity and may involve a CAAC regional administration rather than only national headquarters.
Classify the aviation activity, asset and operator before looking for the applicable certificate, operating permission, safety rule or regional authority.
CAAC's national framework covers civil-aircraft airworthiness, carrier and airport operations, flight and maintenance standards, passenger and cargo transport, dangerous goods and sector safety oversight.
