An experienced foreign manager in the field of civil aviation was invited as the head of the company. Commitments to the European Commission on the implementation of the European surveillance system will be fulfilled. An agreement with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UKCAAi) will be signed. Now the leading european experts of the British Agency will provide Kazakhstan with technical support for the implementation of european safety standards», - Beibut Atamkulov said.
