On September 28, 2001, the “National Civil Aviation Institute” (INAC) was created by Decree No. 1,446, published in the Official Gazette of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela No. 38,226, which functioned with that name until December 12, 2005 when it changed its name to “Instituto Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil”, keeping its initials “INAC”, in accordance with the Law creating the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics, published in the Official Gazette of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela N ° 38,333, preserving its character as an Autonomous Institute of State security, endowed with legal personality and its own patrimony and independent of the National Treasury, with technical, financial, organizational and administrative autonomy, attached to the Ministry whose competence corresponds to the regulation, formulation and monitoring of policies, planning and implementation of the activities of the National Executive in the field of air transport.

The National Institute of Civil Aeronautics (INAC) of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in addition to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), bases its management on the Law of Partial Reform of the Civil Aeronautics Law, published in the Official Gazette of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela No. 39,140 dated March 17, 2009, an instrument that regulates the competence of the nation’s Aeronautical Authority and that allows the constant and sustained development of the aeronautical sector. This Law establishes the general bases for the regulation of civil aviation, complying with and developing the premises established by the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. The order of hierarchy of the norms that regulate civil aviation is established, through the implementation of aeronautical legislation, reiterating the importance of the international commitments acquired.

Among many other things, the Civil Aeronautics Law ratifies the exercise of sovereignty in the airspace of Venezuela, to safeguard the interests of the country in that important geographic space. The public service nature of air transport is defined, to develop the competence of the National Power in matters of security, to guarantee that whoever provides the service will do so within the established parameters. Those of control and support to air navigation are also established as a public service; Likewise, the fundamental rights of the people are stipulated, developing the constitutional principle of citizen participation that must exist in the aeronautical normative processes, precisely to guarantee that the norms elaborated by the Aeronautical Authority are nurtured and enriched with the opinions of the sectors involved which will regulate.

The National Institute of Civil Aeronautics, consequently, regulates the aeronautical activity of the Venezuelan State and society, in matters of security and integral defense, in accordance with the guidelines, principles and constitutional purposes.

As a State Security Entity in aeronautical matters, it is consequently based on integral development, whose condition, status or situation guarantees the enjoyment and exercise of rights and guarantees in the economic, social, and political spheres, cultural, geographical, environmental and military, of the constitutional principles and values ​​by the population, the institutions and each of the people that make up the State and society, with generational projection, within a democratic, participatory and protagonist system, free from threats to its survival, sovereignty and the integrity of its territory and other geographic spaces.
