New Details on the Ongoing Processes Surrounding the Civil Aviation Committee: 50-Page Shortcomings

The newspaper "Zhoghovurd" reports: "New details have emerged regarding the ongoing processes surrounding the Civil Aviation Committee (CAC). Specifically, we have learned that the CAC has not undergone an audit by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The audit covers everything from the wear of airplane wheels to the level of pilot training.

We learned that EASA experts conducted an audit at the committee in February, resulting in the discovery of several shortcomings that exceed 50 pages. Since the committee has not passed an audit, our Armenian airlines, which have undergone separate audits to operate passenger flights to Europe, will not be conducting those flights.

Another important aspect is that the only reason for Armenian aviation being under EASA supervision is "Taron Air," which conducted a flight to Bulgaria last year. On this topic, "Zhoghovurd" interviewed Karen Gyurjyan, the head of the Flight Safety Department of the Republic of Armenia Civil Aviation Committee. "Certain shortcomings have been recorded, some of which we do not agree with. The process is such that they write to us saying that these are your shortcomings. Now we do not agree with part of this, we will register it and send it back to them. Of course, the CAC is not on the blacklist," emphasized Department Head Gyurjyan.
