UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch: Profiling the Agency Upholding Global Aviation Safety
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) is the United Kingdom's dedicated body for investigating civil aircraft accidents and serious incidents. Operating as an independent part of the Department for Transport, its primary function is to determine the circumstances and causes of these events. The AAIB's purpose is not to assign blame or liability. Instead, its findings are used to make crucial safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents and improving air safety standards worldwide.
