Feb 13, 2019 (newstodate): Turkmenistan Airlines is keen to get EASA to re-activate its TCO license, lost earlier this month.
The European Aviation Safety Agency EASA revoked the carrier's TCO license in February 2019, causing Turkmenistan Airlines to suspend flights on important routes into the EU pending confirmation that it meets international air safety standards.
The carrier has been operating flights to Birmingham and London, to Paris, and to Frankfurt, and these operations are now suspended.
Turkmenistan Airlines claims that the source of the problem is discrepancies between US and EU requirements and standards to operate air equipment, with US standards recording the history of the aircraft from the date of the aircraft's purchase from the manufacturer, while EU rules that the aircraft's history start from the the date of completion of production at the factory.
