Bilateral aviation safety agreement

A bilateral aviation safety agreement (BASA) is an agreement that provides for civil aviation certifications to be shared between two countries.[1]

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) currently maintains BASAs with the FAA, the Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC),[2] and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).[3]

The FAA has had a BASA with TCCA since 12 June 2000.[4] This particular BASA has in Article 5 a sixty-day cancellation notice period.[5]

The Civil Aviation Authority of the United Kingdom has had a BASA with the TCCA since 1 January 2021.[6]
