ICAO increases Kazakhstan’s aviation safety level to 84%

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has raised Kazakhstan’s level of aviation safety to 84 percent. This figure is 15 percent higher than the world average, press service of the Civil Aviation Committee informs. The independent assessment by the international organization was aimed at evaluating the new approach of the country in the management of the civil aviation industry. In addition, its results made it possible to note the progress achieved by Kazakhstan in eliminating previously identified concerns in terms of ensuring flight safety. The country has now bypassed a number of countries by the above-mentioned index and has joined the European states such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic, Latvia, Denmark, Iceland, Poland, Slovenia and Cyprus. As noted by foreign experts, Kazakh air carriers thus have no threats to be included in the blacklist of the European Commission or to restrict international flights.

“Aviation administration of Kazakhstan working with the committee on civil aviation and the ministries of Kazakhstan. We’ll work together to achieve a great achievement with the ICAO order. This order has significantly increased the ability of Kazakhstan to manage and control its aviation interest. This being said, very soon Kazakhstan will be among one of the leading countries in the world for aviation safety,” said Peter Griffiths, General Director of the Aviation Administration of Kazakhstan.
