The Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC; Russian: Межгосударственный авиационный комитет, МАК) is an executive body of the Civil Aviation and Airspace Use Council of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and was formed in 1991[2] according to the Civil Aviation and Airspace Use Multilateral Agreement, signed on 25 December 1991.[3]

History

In the Soviet Union, the State Supervisory Commission for Flight Safety (Gosavianadzor), under the Council of Ministers,[4] was the predecessor of the IAC.[5] The Gosavianadzor conducted aircraft accident and incident investigations.[4] until the IAC was established[6] in Minsk on 25 December 1991.

The IAC has been accredited by ICAO as an intergovernmental organisation which may be invited to attend suitable ICAO meetings (officially, ICAO does not classify these as observers).[7]

The Aviation Accident Investigation Commission of the IAC cooperates with the Federal Air Transport Agency in investigations of aviation accidents.[8] One publicly known and controversial IAC investigation was the 2010 plane crash that killed Polish president Lech Kaczyński.[9][10]

Governance

The committee is head-quartered in Yakimanka District, Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia.[2] Since 1991, Tatiana Anodina has been the chairperson of the committee.[11][12] There was press speculation regarding Anodina's conflict of interest in certifying aircraft with respect to Transaero's market position.[13][14]

Participating states

Current

As of May 2023[update], the following countries are named by the IAC[15] as the Treaty participants:

    • Despite the fact that Georgia withdrew from the Commonwealth of Independent States, as of 2011[update] Georgian authorities may still cooperate with the IAC.[17]
  • Ukraine[18]
    • Ukraine has its own independent civil aviation and accidents investigation agencies. Ukraine's participation was based on two agreements concluded within the CIS - a presidential decree.[19][20][21]
