UDARAS EITLIOCHTA NA HEIREANN THE IRISH AVIATION AUTHORITY

Udaras Eitliochta Na hÉireann - the Irish Aviation Authority - is the national regulator responsible for the safety, security and economic oversight of Ireland's civil aviation sector. It works with airlines, airports, drone operators and other aviation stakeholders to ensure that the skies and the ground-handling environment operate to the highest standards.

The Authority's core services include drone registration and licensing, airline licensing, and the issuance of operations and approvals for a wide range of aeronautical activities. It also delivers economic regulation, monitors ground-handling services and provides guidance on consumer protection issues such as travel-business collapse and claims handling. For members of the public, the IAA offers clear information on whether they are protected and how to submit claims or enquiries.

By combining rigorous safety oversight with practical support for industry and travellers alike, Udaras Eitliochta Na hÉireann helps keep Irish air travel safe, efficient and consumer-friendly.
