The Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (French: Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la sécurité de l'aviation civile, BEA) is an agency of the French government, responsible for investigating aviation accidents and incidents and making safety recommendations based on what is learned from those investigations.

Its headquarters are at Paris–Le Bourget Airport in Le Bourget, near Paris. The BEA has 96 employees in 2019, including 30 investigators and 12 investigative assistants.^[1] It is under the authority of the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development, Transport and Housing.^[2]

The BEA was created in 1946.^[1] It operates under, amongst other texts, the French civil aviation and transports codes.^[3]

Following international rules, French authorities are responsible for investigating all aircraft accidents occurring in French territory or airspace, as well as accidents involving French aircraft occurring in international airspace or in other countries if the local authorities do not open a technical enquiry. They may also assist foreign investigation authorities at their request;^[4] in particular, BEA technical assistance is often sought by nations that do not wish to engage with the American FAA for political reasons.^{[citation needed]} They are also the investigating party for all Airbus aircraft.^[5]

Since 1 January 2014, the head of the BEA has been Rémi Jouty, engineer general of the Bridges, Waters and Forests,^[6] succeeding Jean-Paul Troadec.^[7]
