Kazakh Airlines Will Not Be Included In The European 'Black List' - Minister
(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2. Kazakh airlines will
not be included in the Europe's 'black list', Kazakhstan's Minister
of industry and Infrastructural Development Kairbek Uskenbayev
said, Trend reports citing the ministry.
On June 1, 2022, the European Commission published an official
decision in relation to the Aviation authorities of Kazakhstan and
the flights of Kazakh airline companies to Europe. Uskenbayev noted
that the leaders of the aviation authorities of 27 European states
decided not to restrict Kazakh airlines from flying to Europe and
not to include Kazakhstan in the black list.
“They positively assessed the current situation in the field of
flight safety in Kazakhstan and the measures taken by Kazakh
Government over the past three years. We regard this as a great
achievement,” the minister said.
He also noted that Kazakhstan previously was included in the
black list, when in 2009 the International Civil Aviation
Organization revealed a low rate of implementation of ICAO
standards. This led to the European Commission banning the flights
of all Kazakh airlines to European countries, except for Air
Astana, which was limited in its ability to expand its flight
geography and aircraft fleet.
“After the restrictions were lifted in 2016, the team of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs did a great job so that the situation
would not repeat itself,” Uskenbaev emphasized.
