The Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC; Russian: Межгосударственный авиационный комитет, МАК) is an executive body overseeing the use and management of civil aviation in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The IAC was established in 1991, when 12 states of the former Soviet Union signed the Intergovernmental Agreement on Civil Aviation and Use of Airspace,[1] which was signed in Minsk, Belarus on 25 December 1991.[2] The committee is headquartered in Yakimanka District, Central Administrative Okrug, Moscow, Russia.[3] As of 2011 Tatiana Anodina is the director.
The Air Accident Investigation Commission of the IAC regularly investigates plane crashes in the former Soviet republics.[4]
States served by the IAC include Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.[3] At one time Estonia and Latvia had observer status to the IAC.[5]
In 1999 Moldova has announced its intention to end its participation in the Intergovernmental Agreement on Civil Aviation and Use of Airspace, which would cause it to exit the IAC.[2] Moldova wanted to reduce its participation in CIS governmental structures. Moldova has not yet left the IAC.[6]
