The Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan (AAK) has signed the Agreement with the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) of the Ministry of Transport, Communications and the Primary Sector of Aruba on cooperation in the regulatory oversight of flight safety.

Under this Agreement, the parties will have close cooperation to ensure safety oversight of the aircraft registered in Aruba and based in the Republic of Kazakhstan and their operators, as per Article 83bis of the Chicago Convention.

In order to improve flight safety, the parties agreed to cooperate on any deficiencies identified in the result of inspections and to exchange information on the operators’ performance.

Regular joint meetings are planned to address safety oversight activities conducted by AAK, flight operations, continuing airworthiness and aircraft maintenance issues, Operator “Maintenance Control Manual” procedures, EASA SAFA Inspections, and other significant matters arising from the inspections and audits.

A similar mutual agreement was signed on November 26, 2019, between the Civil Aviation Agency of Bermuda and the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan.
