A territory of the Republic of France, the islands of New Caledonia are located in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Australia. The 1998 Noumea Accord commits France to hold as many as three referenda between 2013 and 2018 to decide whether New Caledonia will be granted full sovereignty and independence. Until such a time, civil aviation operations in New Caledonia fall under the jurisdiction of French authorities. The Directorate of Civil Aviation New Caledonia represents the French civil aviation authority, the Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile, which oversees aviation security and safety, environmental regulation, the air transport market, aviation service providers and training institutions.
