The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC; 中国民用航空局; Zhōngguó Mínyòng Hángkōngjú) is the civil aviation authority of the People's Republic of China, under the Ministry of Transport. It oversees civil aviation and investigates aviation accidents and incidents.
As the aviation authority responsible for China, it concludes civil aviation agreements with other aviation authorities, including those of the special administrative regions of China which are categorized as "special domestic." It directly operated its own airline, China's aviation monopoly, until 1988. The agency is headquartered in Dongcheng, Beijing.
