Syrian Civil Aviation Authority

Civil Aviation was established after independence as a Department of the Ministry of Works and Transport and then turned into a public administration linked to the same ministry in the early fifties. In 1958 she was assigned to the Ministry of Defense, then to the Ministry of Defense in 1961 and then to the Ministry of Transport under Legislative Decree No. 93 of 1974. The 1961 Legislative Decree summarized the functions of civil aviation by representing the country outside the territory of the Syrian Republic for the implementation of international civil aviation regulations in accordance with Article 37 of the International Civil Aviation Treaty signed in Chicago in 1944, where the Syrian Arab Republic became a party later after independence. The Chicago Treaty also defined the basic rules, facilities and recommendations for international civil aviation listed in Annex IX to this Treaty at the meeting of the Organization.
