Civil Aviation
Division
The primary
legislation governing civil aviation in Samoa is the
Civil Aviation
Act 1998 (pdf-download) with the Civil Aviation Rules and Regulations 2000 as the
secondary legislations.
The Ministry of
Transport (MOT) is designated under the Act as the Civil Aviation
Authority for Samoa, a role now with the Ministry of Works,
Transport & Infrastructure (MWTI).
The Civil
Aviation Division of the MWTI is tasked with enforcing the 1998
Civil Aviation Act, Civil Aviation Rules (CARs) & Regulations 2000
and advising the CEO on civil aviation policies to ensure Samoa
complies with its obligations under ratified International
Conventions, Treaties and Agreements.
Under its
legal mandates, the Civil Aviation Division has responsibility
