Uzbekistan Civil Aviation Agency

The Uzbekistan Civil Aviation Agency (O‘zbekiston fuqaro aviatsiyasi agentligi) serves as the national aviation authority responsible for the oversight, regulation, and safety of civil aviation within the Republic of Uzbekistan. Situated as a government body under the Ministry of Transport, it functions as the primary legislative and administrative link in the country's aerospace value chain. Its core mandate includes the certification of aircraft, the licensing of aviation personnel, and the enforcement of international standards set by global aviation bodies. The agency maintains a close regulatory relationship with the national flag carrier, Uzbekistan Airways, and the state-owned airport operator, Uzbekistan Airports. It oversees the airworthiness and operational compliance of diverse fleets, including Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft, as well as regional and cargo transport systems. Internationally, the agency coordinates with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to align domestic flight safety and security protocols with global requirements. Prospective partners or suppliers should verify the agency's current standing regarding ICAO Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) results and its specific regulatory requirements for foreign technical service providers. It is essential to confirm the current status of bilateral aviation safety agreements and the validity of any issued certificates of approval for maintenance and training organisations operating within the jurisdiction.
