EASA EU-wide safety certificates

Delta, Emirates, Etihad, United Aeroflot and All Nippon Airways, were among the first airlines to receive EASA’s new single air safety authorization as part of the first 22 authorisations for countries outside of the EU. The new single certification replaces the compliance schemes of the 32 EASA member states, enabling operators from outside the EU to undergo one compliance process. By 2016 all non-EU airlines will have to hold the new EU-wide authorization. 700 carriers from more than 100 countries have applied to be authorized to fly in EU.
