Overview

Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority is mandated to regulate and ensure oversight of Aviation Safety, Security, Economic regulation of Air Services and development of Civil Aviation as guided by the provisions of the Convention on International Civil Aviation Organization's Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)

In replacement of the Rwanda Airport Authority established in 1986, Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) was created by law No. 21/2004 of 10/08/2004 to take on the management, operation and maintenance of airport infrastructure. The law was later revised in 2006 by law no 44/2006 of 05/10/2006 forming Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority (RCAA), mandated to assume both regulatory functions and the operation of airports and the provision of Air Navigation Service (ANS).

To implement the Government policy of separating operational from regulatory functions, the law No 03/2017 of 21/02/2017 was issued; then the law No. 007/2019 of 13/04/2019 was promulgated mandating the RCAA to perform regulatory functions.
