May 06, 2019 (newstodate): Flights by Turkmenistan Airlines into EU airspace is expected to be resumed shortly.
The carrier thus expects EASA's ban on EU operations to be lifted again, allowing for flights to be resumed from the start of June 2019.
The European Aviation Safety Agency EASA revoked the carrier's TCO license on February 4, 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 were 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 date of completion of production at the factory.
Turkmenistan Airlines operates a fleet comprising 20 Boeing aircraft including Boeing 737, 757 and 777 aircraft
