Tbilisi: The Georgian civil aviation agency’s employees have attended a workshop. This special workshop was held under the framework of European Union partnership project.
The information in this regard was shared on social media handles by GCAA. As per the GCAA’s Facebook post, “The Civil Aviation Agency of Georgia staff participated in a workshop held within the framework of the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) project. The meeting discussed the issues envisaged by the European Regulation on Air Navigation Services Efficiency and Tariff Scheme.”
At the same time meeting attendees also discussed practical aspects related to the full functioning of the Air Navigation Services Efficiency Scheme. It is to be noted that, “The European Commission Regulation number 2019/317, which the Agency plans to implement within the framework of the Single Sky Agreement with the European Union, defines the measures necessary for the effective functioning of air navigation services and the Single European Sky concept.
It is to be added that in accordance with the agenda of the workshop, the participants also discussed both the implementation, enforcement and supervision of the relevant regulation by national supervisory authorities, as well as the obligations of air navigation service providers.
Moreover, special attention was paid to the work necessary to define the key performance indicators (KPI) targets at the national level and to monitor the indicators, as well as to the phases of developing, approving and evaluating the efficiency plan, which in turn should be consistent with the efficiency targets set across the European Union.
Notably since a long time the Civil Aviation Agency plans to introduce European requirements for the efficiency and charging scheme of air navigation services in 2025.
The adoption of the rule will contribute to the long-term improvement of flight safety and air navigation services in the country, by properly considering the main safety and environmental objectives of the European region, cost-effectiveness and airspace utilization, as well as by establishing a methodology for determining charges for airspace users.
