History edit

During the early 1900s the growth of civil aviation and commercial airlines created the need for their regulation and oversight. In 1919 with the creation of the first Colombian airline, SCADTA, the need for regulation led the government to take the first of such steps. On 31 December 1919, President Marco Fidel Suárez sanctioned Law 126 of 1919,[12] which became the first form of legislation in the country dealing with aviation, making aviation companies, and everything related to aviation subject to government regulations.[13]

On 2 November 1933 during the administration of President Enrique Olaya Herrera, Decree 1080 of 1933 was passed. This decree ascribed matters of civil aviation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, the next year however, Decree 1682 of 1934, expedited by the newly elect President Alfonso López Pumarejo, ascribed it to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War now controlled all aspects of aviation in the country, military by the Air Force, and civil by the Department of Civil Aviation (Departamento de Aviación Civil).[14]

As aviation became popular, and new international and national flight routes were created, the government saw the need to create a more organized and independent agency to oversee civil aviation. Was then that Congress passed Law 80 of 1938, which created the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (Dirección General de Aeronáutica), centralizing the management of civil aviation into one agency.[13] The agency was still part of the Ministry of War, but had gained more independence in management and finances, and was now in charge of the operations of aerodromes, airways, aeronautic radiocommunications, meteorology, and oversight.

On 18 October 1951 a change of name and command was implemented during the administration of President Laureano Gómez, who by means of Decree 1956 of 1951, created the National Department of Civil Aviation (Departamento Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil), replacing the name and placing it under the authority of the Ministry of Public Works.[15]

On 18 June 1960, the National Government created by Decree 1721 of 1960 the Civil Aviation Department (Departamento Administrativo de Aeronáutica Civil, DAAC), which was assigned specific technical and administrative duties to define aeronautic policy.[13] In 1992 the DAAC merged with the National Aeronautic Fund (Fondo Aeronáutico Nacional), broadening its services and responsibilities.[13]

On 30 December 1993, the Colombian Congress passed Law 105 of 1993,[13] which created the Civil Aviation Authority of Colombia. It replaced the DAAC and was placed under the administration of the Ministry of Transportation.[16] The agency officially went into operation on 1 February 1994, with officials being sworn in again, and 450 employees laid off.[16]
