The FAA and EASA formally renewed and expanded their cooperative aviation safety framework at the June 2026 International Safety Conference in Chantilly, Virginia, establishing regular executive reviews to track certification pathways for advanced air mobility and flight deck automation. This alignment shifts FAA airworthiness standards toward EASA CS-25 performance-based regulations, reducing regulatory complexity for Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier while streamlining certification for new designs across both markets. The agreement accelerates market entry by minimizing exemptions for portable electronic device protocols and modernized simulator capabilities, directly addressing emerging cyber threats and GPS/GNSS interference risks through enhanced data-sharing mechanisms between the agencies’ executive leadership teams.
