YEREVAN. – The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has given a high evaluation to the technical supervision and service of flights in Armenia. 

Head of the Armenian Government-Affiliated General Department of Civil Aviation, Artyom Movsesyan, stated the above-said at a press conference on Tuesday.

The respective audit at the state-run organizations of Armenia’s civil aviation was conducted in the summer of 2015.

In Movsesyan’s words, even though the level of a country’s compliance with ICAO requirements is at an average of 62.9 percent, this was evaluated at 84.2 percent in Armenia. This is higher than the other countries in the region as well as some other European countries.

ICAO has also given a positive evaluation to Armenia’s preparedness in aviation emergency and rescue work.
