Aviation Department Of Belarus
The State Committee of Aviation of the Republic of Belarus (Государственный комитет по авиации Республики Беларусь) was established by the President of Belarus to coordinate aviation activity inside Belarus. It can be compared to the United States Federal Aviation Administration in its activities and duties. The Committee (Госкомавиация) works with other state bodies and agencies (bodies), companies and organizations.
All civil aviation activities and civil airports fall under the jurisdiction of the Committee. Several repair facilities, air traffic control towers and aviation schools also fall under the jurisdiction of the Committee.
Since 1993, Belarus has been an accredited member of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Historically, during the period when Belarus was a republic of the Soviet Union, the activities of the Committee were handled by the Russian civil aviation authority, Aeroflot.

Famous quotes containing the word department:
“The African race evidently are made to excel in that department which lies between the sensuousness and the intellectual—what we call the elegant arts. These require rich and abundant animal nature, such as they possess; and if ever they become highly civilised, they will excel in music, dancing and elocution.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
