2017-02-07 | Beijing

In January 2017, the CAAC has issued a Call-for-Comments on <Approval Regulation on Qualifications of Foreign Public Aviation Carriers (Revised Draft for Review)>in order to improve the civil aviation legal system. The European Chamber Aviation & Aerospace Working Group, on behalf of member companies, submitted to CAAC their consolidated comments, suggesting the regulation should have detailed definition on "special operation".The draft only listed one example (high altitude airport ops)as “special operation”, which is not clear for airliners to define “special”.  The comments proposed to establish a specific list of operations under “special operation” so that misunderstanding can be effectively avoided.
