The Eswatini Civil Aviation Authority (ESWACAA) is a statutory body as provided for by Section 5 (1) of the Civil Aviation Authority Act No. 4 of 2022 and became operational on 7 December 2009.
The Authority is a renowned safe and secure aviation industry regulator, an airports operator and an air navigation services provider that facilitates economic development. As civil aviation is a very technical and heavily regulated global industry, it became necessary to establish an autonomous body that would focus on the growth and professional management of the industry and have the Ministry of Public Works and Transport as its oversight.
ESWACAA manages King Mswati III International Airport, Matsapha Airport and the Nhlangano Airstrip.
