The Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) was an organization that was created to harmonize and coordinate air safety regulations among the European Union (EU) member states. The JAA was composed of representatives from various European aviation regulatory bodies, and it was responsible for developing and issuing common safety standards and guidelines for the EU member states.
