On June 7, a new chapter in EU-Ukraine aviation relations has started, with the official launch of a new cooperation project between EASA and SAAU (State Aviation Administration of Ukraine) in the area of airworthiness. The three-year project, managed by EASA, is designed to support the implementation in Ukraine of EU airworthiness rules, and thus prepare the country’s participation to EASA’s activities. The launch follows the signature of an arrangement between the European Commission and the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine on the convergence of certification systems on January 16, 2017. To support this Arrangement, the project will focus on the development and implementation of a so-called “Convergence document”, and on technical cooperation activities in the fields of initial and continuing airworthiness. Luc Tytgat, EASA’s Director for Strategy and Safety Management, said: “EASA supports SAAU’s endeavors to transition towards EU-based requirements and standards in the area of airworthiness. The EASA-SAAU Airworthiness Convergence project will further enhance the partnership and cooperation between the EU and Ukraine in aviation”.
