The Aerodromes Branch of the Civil Aviation Authority of Solomon Islands (CAASI) is responsible for the certification and safety oversight of airports and aerodromes operating within Solomon Islands.

This oversight is conducted in accordance with the Civil Aviation Act 2008 (as amended), Civil Aviation Rule Parts 139 and 157, and applicable ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs).
