One more Kazakhstani airline authorized to fly to Europe

ASTANA. KAZINFORM - One more Kazakhstani air carrier will fly to Europe after obtaining a TCO authorization, Kazinform has learnt from the Civil Aviation Committee under the Ministry for Investment and Development of Kazakhstan.

The committee confirmed that Kazakhstani airline Comlux-kz LLC had received the TCO authorization from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and become the authorized third-country (non-EU) operator.

"That means that four air carriers from Kazakhstan, namely Air Astana, Prime Aviation JSC, Kaz Air Jet JSC and Comlux-kz LLC, will fly to Europe," the committee said in a statement.

Europe centralized the process to authorize non-EU operators performing commercial air transport operations into the EU by introducing the TCO authorization (TCO) in 2014.
