EASA TCO
On 26.05.2014 the Regulation (UE) 452/2014 laying down technical requirements and administrative procedures related to air operations of third country operators entered into force.
By the end November 2014 all TCOs engaging in scheduled or non-scheduled commercial air transport operations into, within or out of the territory subject to the provisions of the Treaty of the European Union, including those wet leased-in by or code-sharing with an EU operator and must hold a safety authorisation issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (the Agency).
Airlines of third countries currently conducting air operations in the European Union should request such authorization to EASA, as provided in the Regulation.
As TCO you need to comply with the ICAO requirements which are compared against the EASA standards. You as TCO need to close the gaps between ICAO requirements and EASA regulations. GCS can support your TCO approval with:
- Application Support (Liaison with EASA on customers behalf)
- Gap Analysis Identification of non-compliance with ICAO and/or EASA standards.
- Support for ongoing compliance monitoring
