The South African Civil Aviation Authority is charged with promoting, regulating and enforcing civil aviation safety.
About us
The South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA) is a Schedule 3A public entity in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (“PFMA”). It was established on the 1st of October 1998, following the enactment of the now repealed South African Civil Aviation Authority Act,1998 (Act No.40 of 1998). The Act provided for the establishment of a stand-alone authority charged with promoting, regulating and enforcing civil aviation safety and security. It reflected the Government's priorities and was in line with international trends in the aviation world where more and more states implemented this option. The abovementioned Act was repealed as a whole by the Civil Aviation Act, 2009, (Act No.13 of 2009). The Act, provides for the establishment of a stand-alone authority mandated with controlling, promoting, regulating, supporting, developing, enforcing and continuously improving levels of safety and security throughout the civil aviation industry. The SACAA is an agency of the Department of Transport (DoT). The above is to be achieved by complying with the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) of the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), whilst considering the local context.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of taking 20 top-performing Grade 11 & 12 students from the Maths & Science stream at Prudens Secondary School to explore careers in aviation. The purpose of this field trip was to take them out of their usual learning environment and introduce them to real-world opportunities. Students engaged with industry professionals, gaining first-hand insights into what it takes to work in aviation while expanding their understanding of the wide range of possibilities available to them in this industry. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the SACAA for coordinating this enriching experience and to the team at Lanseria International Airport for generously sharing their expertise with our learners. Some students have already expressed a keen interest in pursuing careers such as aeronautical engineering, aircraft maintenance engineering, and other roles they were previously unaware of. This event was part of our #NationalScienceWeek Initiative at LadyTech Africa, aimed at inspiring the next generation of leaders in STEM.South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (NRF SAASTA) #nsw2024 #SASciWeek #STEMCAREERS

On 16 October 2024, the SACAA's Airport Tour Show & Tell series marked the final day, where we visited a sixth airport, closing off our tour. Learners from Avoca township in the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality had an incredible opportunity to explore airport operations and aviation careers at King Shaka International Airport (KSIA). A huge thank you to ACSA and KMIA for hosting the learners and supporting this inspiring initiative. Fun Fact! KSIA opened its doors on May 1, 2010—just 41 days before the 2010 FIFA World Cup! This modern airport replaced the Durban International Airport as the main gateway to the region. It has earned numerous awards for its outstanding service and facilities, making it one of the best airports in Africa. #FutureAviators #OctoberTransportMonth #KSIA #KMIA
