The aviation authorities of Japan and the United Kingdom have signed a mutual recognition agreement concerning aviation safety. The agreement was signed at the Farnborough Airshow on July 25th, local time.
Both authorities had previously concluded an implementing agreement in 2019, detailing the procedures for the mutual recognition of airworthiness of aviation products. This new agreement aims for the further expansion of cooperation in mutual recognition, with the expectation of reducing burdens on the aviation industry, promoting the free circulation of civil aviation products, and strengthening the cooperative relationship between Japan and the UK on aviation safety.
The main agreement was signed between Nariaki Hiraoka, Director-General of the Civil Aviation Bureau, and Rob Bishton, CEO of the UK Civil Aviation Authority, while the implementing agreement was signed between Makoto Eguchi, Director of the Aircraft Safety Division’s Aircraft Technology Standards Planning Office, and Garry Lathey, Chief Engineer at the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
