Will your airline be allowed to enter or leave Europe from November 26th 2014 onwards?
EASA – Authorisation of Third Country Operators (TCO)
„Third Country Operators engaging in Commercial Air Transport (CAT) to the EU will have to submit their TCO application within the first 6 months after Part-TCO has become applicable.“
The 6 month period started 26 May 2014 and ends with the deadline on 26 November 2014!
Important to know:
„Operators who fail to apply for a TCO authorisation within 6 months – until 26 November 2014 – after entry into force of Part-TCO may face delays in their authorisation process which could lead to a disruption of their operation to the EU until completion of their assessment and issuance of the TCO authorisation. It is therefore in the best interest of operators to apply for a TCO authorisation within the application period (6 months after Part-TCO entry into force).“
Who needs a TCO authorisation?
Any third-country operator who intends to perform commercial air transport (CAT) operations into, within or out of any of the following territories:
- the 32 EASA Member States of the European Union plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland
- the territories in which the Basic Regulation applies (Gibraltar, Åland Islands, Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, Réunion, Saint-Martin, Mayotte)
A TCO authorisation will not be required for operators only overflying the above mentioned territories without intended landing.
Our offer:
As TCO you need to comply with ICAO requirements which are compared against
EASA standards. You as TCO need to close the gaps between ICAO requirements and
EASA regulations.
