Explained in plain English
Who checks the rules?
Various national aviation authorities, like the UK's CAA or Germany's LBA, are responsible for checking that airlines follow the rules they issue. They conduct inspections, audits, and investigations to ensure safety standards are met, covering everything from aircraft maintenance to crew training. This oversight is crucial to prevent incidents like the broken window on Ljubisa Karovic's flight.
