Introduction
The introduction of three new bills will herald the dawning of a new age in aviation in The Bahamas and position the jurisdiction to attain the international recognition that it deserves. These bills – the Civil Aviation Bill 2020, the Civil Aviation Authority Bill 2020 and the Air Navigation Services Authority Bill 2020 – have been tabled before Cabinet and address the issues arising from, and remedy the defects found in, the 2017 International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) audit, the current Civil Aviation Act 2016 and the Civil Aviation (General) Regulations 2017. The new legislation will repeal and consolidate the existing legislation and will better prepare The Bahamas for its next ICAO audit scheduled for October 2021.
