The activities of various international organizations in the context of safety assurance in civil aviation are outlined in our diploma thesis. Relevant professional literature that touches on the topic of the thesis was studied as the basis for pointing out the importance of international organizations involved in civil aviation safety. In particular, we were interested in the functioning of EASA and JAA and their impact on the level of aviation safety in the EU. The impact of EASA on other organizations, especially on the JAA, from which EASA took over most of the responsibilities, was examined and analyzed. Among other things, we highlight the goals as well as strengths and weaknesses of EASA since it has been established. The thesis identifies two key strengths of EASA's work, namely the legally binding basis of both the establishment and co-operation of EASA with EU Member States, and the corresponding legal status within all EU Member States. These are two advantages that make EASA fundamentally different from the previous organisation JAA which was set up under a non-binding agreement with the national aviation authorities of the conference Member States.
