COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2023/1111
of 6 June 2023
amending Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 as regards the list of air carriers banned from operating or subject to operational restrictions within the Union
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2005 on the establishment of a Community list of air carriers subject to an operating ban within the Community and on informing air transport passengers of the identity of the operating carrier, and repealing Article 9 of Directive 2004/36/EC (1), and in particular Article 4(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 (2) establishes the list of air carriers, which are subject to an operating ban within the Union. |
(2) |
Certain Member States and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (‘the Agency’) communicated to the Commission, pursuant to Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, information that is relevant for updating that list. Third countries and international organisations also provided relevant information. On the basis of the information provided, that list should be updated. |
(3) |
The Commission informed all air carriers concerned, either directly or through the authorities responsible for their regulatory oversight, about the essential facts and considerations, which would form the basis of a decision to impose an operating ban on them within the Union or to modify the conditions of an operating ban imposed on an air carrier, which is included in the list set out in Annex A or B to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(4) |
The Commission gave the air carriers concerned the opportunity to consult all relevant documentation, to submit written comments and to make an oral presentation to the Commission and to the Committee established by Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 (the ‘EU Air Safety Committee’). |
(5) |
The Commission has informed the EU Air Safety Committee about the ongoing consultations, within the framework of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/660 (3), with the competent authorities and air carriers of Armenia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, and Kyrgyzstan. The Commission also informed the EU Air Safety Committee about the aviation safety situation in Argentina, Congo (Brazzaville), Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Madagascar, Moldova, Nepal, Pakistan, and South Sudan. |
(6) |
The Agency informed the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee about the technical assessments conducted for the initial evaluation and the continuous monitoring of third country operator (‘TCO’) authorisations, issued pursuant to Commission Regulation (EU) No 452/2014 (4). |
(7) |
The Agency also informed the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee about the results of the analysis of ramp inspections carried out under the Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft programme (‘SAFA’), in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012 (5). |
(8) |
In addition, the Agency informed the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee about the technical assistance projects carried out in third countries affected by an operating ban under Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. Furthermore, the Agency provided information on the plans and requests for further technical assistance and cooperation to improve the administrative and technical capability of civil aviation authorities in third countries with a view to helping them assure compliance with applicable international civil aviation safety standards. Member States were invited to respond to such requests on a bilateral basis in coordination with the Commission and the Agency. In that regard, the Commission reiterated the usefulness of providing information to the international aviation community, particularly through the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (‘ICAO’) Aviation Safety Implementation Assistance Partnership tool, on technical assistance to third countries provided by the Union and Member States to improve aviation safety around the world. |
(9) |
Eurocontrol provided the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee with an update on the status of the SAFA and TCO alarming functions, including statistics about alert messages for banned air carriers. |
Union air carriers
(10) |
Following the Agency’s analysis of information resulting from ramp inspections carried out on the aircraft of Union air carriers, as well as standardisation inspections carried out by the Agency, and complemented with information stemming from specific inspections and audits carried out by national aviation authorities, Member States and the Agency, acting as competent authorities, have taken certain corrective and enforcement measures, and informed the Commission and the EU Air Safety Committee about those measures. |
(11) |
Member States and the Agency, acting as competent authorities, reiterated their readiness to act, as necessary, in the event that pertinent safety information indicates imminent safety risks resulting from non-compliance by Union air carriers with relevant safety standards. |
Air carriers from Armenia
(12) |
In June 2020, air carriers certified in Armenia were included in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/736 (6). |
(13) |
As part of the continuous monitoring activities the Commission identified that the new air carrier Armenian Airlines has been certified by the Civil Aviation Committee of Armenia (‘CAC’) in December 2022. Since CAC has not provided the Commission with evidence to demonstrate a sufficient ability to implement and enforce the relevant international safety standards, the issuance of an air operator certificate (‘AOC’) to this new air carrier does not guarantee sufficient compliance with the relevant international safety standards. |
(14) |
In accordance with the common criteria set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission considers that with respect to air carriers from Armenia, the list of air carriers, which are subject to an operating ban within the Union should be amended to include Armenian Airlines in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(15) |
Member States should continue verifying the effective compliance of air carriers certified in Armenia with the relevant international safety standards through prioritisation of ramp inspections of those air carriers, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012. |
Air carriers from the Democratic Republic of the Congo
(16) |
In March 2006, air carriers certified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo were included in Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(17) |
Upon request from the Autorité de l’Aviation Civile of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (‘AAC/RDC’) a technical meeting took place on 19 April 2023. During that technical meeting AAC/RDC provided a comprehensive presentation of its organisation and functions, and the measures taken to improve the safety oversight in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. AAC/RDC also informed the Commission about the preliminary results of the ICAO’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (‘USOAP’) visit which was conducted in September 2022 and in February 2023. |
(18) |
The meeting showed that AAC/RDC still needs to provide the Commission with further clarifications and evidence regarding certain actions and measures taken, in particular as regards the certification of air carriers engaged in commercial air transport and the renewal of the validity of AOCs. |
(19) |
During that technical meeting, AAC/RDC informed the Commission that the air carriers AB BUSINESS, AIR KASAI, GOMA EXPRESS, and TRACEP CONGO AVIATION have been certified since the last update it provided to the Commission on 6 and 13 May 2020. |
(20) |
The ICAO, by means of its Electronic Bulletin 2023/18 of 1 May 2023, notified its contracting States of the identification of two Significant Safety Concerns (‘SSC’) during its audit of February 2023, pertaining to the area of air navigation services in relation to instrument flight procedures and flight inspections for navigational aids. |
(21) |
On the basis of the information provided by AAC/RDC and the notification of two SSC by ICAO, the Commission has justified reservations about AAC/RDC's capacity to ensure that operations by air carriers certified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are conducted in accordance with the relevant international safety standards. As a consequence, further technical meetings will take place to monitor the progress of AAC/RDC in ensuring that its aviation safety oversight system complies with the relevant international safety standards. |
(22) |
Since AAC/RDC has not demonstrated a sufficient ability to implement and enforce the relevant international safety standards, the issuance of an AOC to the air carriers AB BUSINESS, AIR KASAI, GOMA EXPRESS, and TRACEP CONGO AVIATION does not guarantee sufficient compliance with such standards, and therefore these air carriers should be added in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(23) |
On 8 May 2023, AAC/RDC provided the Commission with evidence that the air carrier MWANT JET no longer holds a valid AOC. Therefore this air carrier should be removed from Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(24) |
In accordance with the common criteria set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission considers that the list of air carriers which are subject to an operating ban within the Union should be amended to remove the air carrier MWANT JET from Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 and to add the air carriers AB BUSINESS, AIR KASAI, GOMA EXPRESS, AND TRACEP CONGO AVIATION in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(25) |
Member States should continue verifying the effective compliance of air carriers certified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with the relevant international safety standards through prioritisation of ramp inspections of those air carriers, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012. |
Air carriers from Iraq
(26) |
In December 2015, the air carrier Iraqi Airways was included in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2322 (7). |
(27) |
As part of its ongoing EU Air Safety List (‘ASL’) consultations the Commission, in cooperation with the Agency and Member States, has organised a number of technical meetings with the Iraq Civil Aviation Authority (‘ICAA’) and Iraqi Airways. Those discussions focused on efforts made by the ICAA in dealing with the safety concerns previously identified by the Commission and the Agency experts, as well as regards the oversight of Iraqi certified air carriers. |
(28) |
On 20 April 2023, as part of the continuous monitoring activities of the Commission, a technical meeting was held between the Commission, the Agency, Member States and the ICAA. During that meeting, ICAA has provided information on several key elements related to their safety oversight activities, highlighting the Iraqi government decision to allocate substantial resources to support ICAA efforts to ensure effective safety oversight in the country, notably for inspector training, and suitable facilities. |
(29) |
In relation to the safety oversight, ICAA disclosed that there are six AOC holders, four Approved Maintenance Organisations, and one Air Traffic Organisation based in Iraq for which ICAA is responsible. |
(30) |
ICAA reported that a new Aviation Law had been drafted and is undergoing consultation, and when passed it would result in significant changes to ICAA's internal regulations and procedures. Furthermore, ICAA is currently working on updating the ICAO On-Line Framework, pending ICAO’s review of the ICAA proposed Corrective Action Plan (‘CAP’). |
(31) |
During that technical meeting, ICAA also informed the Commission that the Flight Operations Inspectors (‘FOI’) were partially managed through the designation of air operators' pilots on a part-time basis. Furthermore, they presented their plans to recruit full-time dedicated FOIs. A recent decision by the General Secretariat for the Council of Ministers has allowed ICAA to contract and recruit experts in the fields of aircraft operations, licensing, medical assessment, airworthiness, air navigation services, and aerodrome certification. |
(32) |
Additionally, the technical meeting included a brief exchange about Fly Baghdad's recent negative TCO decision taken on safety grounds. |
(33) |
The Commission acknowledges the efforts being made by the ICAA and the fact that the ICAA is committed to carrying out its international obligations in relation to aviation safety. Notwithstanding these developments, the information provided so far requires further verification through additional technical meetings. |
(34) |
In accordance with the common criteria set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission considers that at this time there are no grounds for amending the list of air carriers, which are subject to an operating ban within the Union with respect to air carriers certified in Iraq. |
(35) |
Member States should continue verifying the effective compliance of air carriers certified in Iraq with the relevant international safety standards through prioritisation of ramp inspections of those air carriers, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012. |
(36) |
Where any pertinent safety information reveals imminent safety risks resulting from non-compliance with the relevant international safety standards, further action by the Commission may become necessary, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005. |
Air carriers from Kyrgyzstan
(37) |
In October 2006, air carriers certified in Kyrgyzstan were included in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1543/2006 (8). |
(38) |
On 12 May 2023, as part of the continuous monitoring activities of the Commission, a technical meeting was held between the Commission and the representatives from the State Civil Aviation Agency under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic (‘CAA KG’). |
(39) |
During that meeting, CAA KG expressed its commitment to engage in a safety dialogue with the Commission for the purpose of an eventual removal from Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006, and emphasized its willingness to hold additional meetings as deemed necessary by the Commission. Furthermore, CAA KG pledged to share any pertinent safety information with the Commission as part of the official consultations involving the regulatory authorities responsible for safety oversight of the air carriers certified in Kyrgyzstan, including results from the USOAP visit planned for September 2023. |
(40) |
Moreover, CAA KG provided a comprehensive overview of its organizational structure and outlined its plans for the establishment of the new entity that will be responsible for the safety oversight process, reporting directly to the CAA KG. |
(41) |
CAA KG mentioned the State Safety Program implementation status and highlighted the amendments made to the Kyrgyz Air Code. Furthermore, CAA KG explained that they were actively striving to become a self-financing institution, which would enable them to augment their resources and allocate additional funds towards the training of their inspectors. |
(42) |
Notwithstanding these positive developments, there is currently not enough substantiated evidence that CAA KG has effectively addressed all the safety concerns that led to the imposition of an operating ban by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1543/2006. |
(43) |
Furthermore, on 16 May 2023, CAA KG informed the Commission that the AOCs of the air carriers Air Manas and Valor Air had been revoked. Therefore these air carriers should be removed from Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(44) |
At the same time, the CAA KG also informed the Commission that the new air carriers Aero Nomad Airlines, CENTRAL ASIAN AVIATION SERVICES, Global 8 Airlines, Mac.KG Airlines, Aircompany Moalem Aviation, SAPSAN Airline, Sky Jet, and TRANS CARAVAN KG had been certified. Since the CAA KG has not demonstrated a sufficient ability to implement and enforce the relevant international safety standards, the issuance of an AOC to these new air carriers does not guarantee sufficient compliance with such standards, and therefore these air carriers should be added in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006. |
(45) |
In accordance with the common criteria set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, the Commission considers that with respect to air carriers from Kyrgyzstan, the list of air carriers, which are subject to an operating ban within the Union should be amended to include Aero Nomad Airlines, CENTRAL ASIAN AVIATION SERVICES, Global 8 Airlines, Mac.KG Airlines, Aircompany Moalem Aviation, SAPSAN Airline, Sky Jet, and TRANS CARAVAN KG in Annex A to Regulation (EC) No 474/2006, and to remove Air Manas and Valor Air from that Annex. |
(46) |
Member States should continue verifying the effective compliance of air carriers certified in Kyrgyzstan with the relevant international safety standards through prioritisation of ramp inspections of those air carriers, pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012. |
(47) |
Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(48) |
Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005 recognise the need for decisions to be taken swiftly and, where appropriate, urgently, given the safety implications. It is therefore essential, for the protection of sensitive information and the traveling public, that any decisions in the context of updating the list of air carriers, which are subject to an operating ban or restriction within the Union, are published and enter into force immediately after their adoption. |
(49) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EU Air Safety Committee established pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 2111/2005, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 474/2006 is amended as follows:
