EASA this week sent out the following notification to warn non-European operators (Third Country Operators or TCOs) that if they wish to continue or commence flights to European destinations they must complete the TCO Application process, or risk being denied access. If you have any doubts about how to make the application please contact us at Gates Aviation on +44 (0) 207 469 6437 or jgillespie@gatesaviation.com :
EU application deadline for third country operators is
approaching
On 26th May the European Regulation (EC)
No. 452/2014, so called Part-TCO, has entered into force. This regulation
requires all third-country operators (TCO) engaging in commercial air transport
to EU territories to apply to EASA for a TCO Authorisation.
The deadline to apply for a TCO Authorisation is
26th November 2014.
Many operators have not submitted their application yet.
Many operators have not submitted their application yet.
Once the application has been received, EASA will
conduct a safety evaluation of the technical questionnaire, which includes
operational and fleet data.
Operators missing this important deadline face
the risk that their operation to Europe may be interrupted until this assessment
is performed and the TCO Authorisation is issued by EASA.
All non-European commercial operators holding
operating permits to any EASA Member State are invited to submit the TCO
Authorisation application as soon as possible.
