The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is New Zealand's civil aviation safety and security regulator. CAA exists to keep the aviation system safe for the public and for people who work in it and use it - as well as keeping it protected from people who may wish harm to those using and working in it. A safe and secure aviation system maintains New Zealand's international reputation and supports positive economic and social outcomes.

To ensure delivery of these outcomes, CAA:

- Regulates people (those who work in, and are customers of, aviation - including pilots, engineers, air traffic controllers and passengers), organisations, aircraft, and aviation infrastructure.
- Carries out regulatory functions, including engagement, education, communication, certification, licensing, monitoring (including audit and inspection, screening of passengers and non-passengers), investigation and enforcement.

The Director of Civil Aviation Chief Executive of CAA is responsible for the strategic and operational delivery of the CAA (including the Aviation Security Service); exercising the authority granted under the Civil Aviation Act 1990. The CEO is responsible for ensuring the organisation maintains the highest standards of performance to keep New Zealand skies and its people safe and secure.

The role reports to the CAA Board through the Chair.
