The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is scheduled to start operations next September in Brussels, Belgium, following a September 27 ruling that gives its promoters in the European Commission the green light to actually create the agency.

Ultimately, the EASA is destined to replace today’s Joint Aviation Authorities, and the EC is expected to name the EASA’s first executive director by next month.
