Industry groups write to EU transport ministry to suspend consultations

A group of industry associations have written to the EU’s The Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) calling for the suspension of consultation and rukle making activities that were scheduled for the timeframe 2020 to 2024, to help the industry cope with Covid 19. According to the ERA it has signed a joint letter with IATA, A4E and AIRE to DG MOVE, which urges EASA to temporarily freeze all non-urgent consultation and rulemaking activities and provide an extension for maintenance tasks to complement the measures already co-ordinated on personnel licensing and airworthiness review certificates enabling the performance of major maintenance checks.
