Explained in plain English

Who protects UK air passengers?

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the UK's independent aviation regulator. They oversee passenger rights, safety standards, and competition in the airline industry. If you have a complaint an airline hasn't resolved, the CAA can offer advice and direct you to an approved dispute resolution service.
