Turkmenistan Airlines works to regain EASA approval
Turkmenistan Airlines has brought in Lufthansa Consulting to advise on safety improvements, after EASA suspended the airline’s safety authorisation. Turkmenistan Airlines previously had EASA third-country operator authorisation, allowing it to serve destinations in the EU, but this permission was withdrawn by EASA Feb 4, forcing the carrier to halt European flights with its own fleet. Lufthansa Consulting said it was working with Turkmenistan Airlines to help it meet EASA standards. “The airline recently experienced difficulties in satisfying relevant EASA requirements and is taking matters in this regard very seriously. The operator…has therefore decided to cooperate with the German aviation experts to review the existing situation and develop a corrective action plan,” Lufthansa Consulting said. <br/>
