Inter-American Development Bank to establish civil aviation authority

The Bahamas government says it will establish a separate entity to regulate the civil aviation sector in the country.



Prime Minister, Perry Christie says, his administration will be establishing the Civil Aviation Authority to serve as a regulator, taking away that function from the Civil Aviation Department that also acted as a service provider.



Prime Minister Christie said the government has received funding from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to establish the new entity.



He says the development of the Civil Aviation Authority will likewise support the government’s economic growth agenda by ensuring that regulatory responsibilities are managed in a manner which contributes to economic development and activity.
