We would like to hear from you

The CAA is committed to improving how we deliver services, please help us by completing a short survey about your experiences today

All Aeronautical Radio Licences are now issued and administered by Ofcom and not the Civil Aviation Authority.

The CAA no longer accepts applications for new licences or renewals - please apply to Ofcom.

The CAA had previously been issuing radio licences to the aviation sector for a number of years on behalf of Ofcom.

The CAA will continue to issue frequency assignments and Air Navigation Order safety approvals as normal.
