Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (Switzerland)

Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB, German: Büro für Flugunfalluntersuchungen (BFU), French: Bureau d'enquête sur les accidents d'aviation (BEAA), Italian: Ufficio d’inchiesta sugli infortuni aeronautici (UIIA)) was the Switzerland bureau of aircraft accident investigation. The bureau was headquartered on the grounds of Payerne Airport and in Payerne.[1]

Normally the original aircraft accident reports were written in the language of the Swiss region where the aircraft accident occurred. Some reports had English versions available.[2]

History

The AAIB was established by the Swiss parliament. Operations began in 1960.[3]

The agency was disestablished on 1 November 2011 when it and the Investigation Bureau for Railway, Funicular and Boat Accidents merged to form the Swiss Accident Investigation Board.[4]
