What is the main role of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)?

• A. Issue airline tickets
• B. Supervise that operators follow regulations and comply with national requirements
• C. Regulate in-flight meal standards
• D. Manage air traffic control in all airports

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the Civil Aviation Authority is a regulator that ensures safety by supervising operators and making sure they follow rules and meet national requirements. It sets standards, licenses, inspects airlines and airports, monitors safety performance, and takes action if rules aren’t followed. This is what keeps aviation trustworthy and safe for passengers and crew. Tickets are handled by the airlines and booking platforms, not the regulator. In-flight meal standards aren’t the regulator’s primary function, and air traffic control is run by dedicated service providers with regulatory oversight, not by managing day-to-day ATC operations.
