Which authority approves the Ryanair security programme?

The approval of the Ryanair security programme is the responsibility of the International Aviation Authority (IAA). The IAA plays a key role in aviation security oversight in Ireland, where Ryanair is headquartered. Their mandate includes ensuring that airlines operating within or from Ireland comply with national and international aviation security standards.

This approval process involves a thorough assessment of the airline's security measures and protocols, ensuring they align with the relevant regulations and best practices. The IAA works closely with Ryanair to ensure that the airline's security programme effectively protects passengers, crew, and the overall integrity of aviation operations.

While other organizations such as the EU Aviation Authority, the British Civil Aviation Authority, and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) are involved in aviation regulation and standards on a broader scale, it is the IAA that specifically evaluates and approves Ryanair's individual security programme.
