Seychelles’ civil aviation sector undergoes structural reform

Press release from SCAA & SAA

The civil aviation industry in Seychelles has undergone major transformation in recent months; the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) has been restructured into two distinct and independent entities.

This strategic restructuring is in line with the standard from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), which advocates for a clear separation between regulatory bodies and service providers. It would ensure that the SCAA as the regulator is independent of the organisations which it regulates, strengthening impartiality and transparency and promoting good governance.

The SCAA, under the leadership of chief executive, Garry Albert, remains in place as the regulatory body responsible for overseeing all civil aviation activities within the sovereign territory of Seychelles. Its core mandate is to ensure that aviation operations are safe, efficient, economic and fully compliant with both international and national standards.
