The Council of Ministers has agreed to launch an urgent procedure to determine the main physical headquarters of the new Independent Administrative Authority for the Technical Investigation of Railway, Maritime, and Civil Aviation Accidents and Incidents (Council of Ministers Agreement of 10 March 2026). Created by Law 2/2024, this Authority replaces the three previous investigation commissions to act as a single multimodal body. Determining the headquarters is necessary to facilitate staff recruitment and the effective operation of the agency (Council of Ministers Agreement of 10 March 2026).
For the transport sector (rail, maritime, and civil aviation), the creation of this single body centralises technical accident investigation powers, aiming for greater independence and safety (Law 2/2024). The administration is accelerating timelines via the urgent procedure under Royal Decree 209/2022 to ensure the Authority meets the 6, 12, and 18-month implementation deadlines set out in Royal Decree 141/2026. Potential candidate locations must submit their applications through the electronic office specified in the forthcoming report to be published in the BOE (Council of Ministers Agreement of 10 March 2026).
