| (13) | As part of the continuous monitoring activities the Commission identified that the new air carrier Armenian Airlines has been certified by the Civil Aviation Committee of Armenia (‘CAC’) in December 2022. Since CAC has not provided the Commission with evidence to demonstrate a sufficient ability to implement and enforce the relevant international safety standards, the issuance of an air operator certificate (‘AOC’) to this new air carrier does not guarantee sufficient compliance with the relevant international safety standards. |

| (20) | The ICAO, by means of its Electronic Bulletin 2023/18 of 1 May 2023, notified its contracting States of the identification of two Significant Safety Concerns (‘SSC’) during its audit of February 2023, pertaining to the area of air navigation services in relation to instrument flight procedures and flight inspections for navigational aids. |

| (21) | On the basis of the information provided by AAC/RDC and the notification of two SSC by ICAO, the Commission has justified reservations about AAC/RDC's capacity to ensure that operations by air carriers certified in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are conducted in accordance with the relevant international safety standards. As a consequence, further technical meetings will take place to monitor the progress of AAC/RDC in ensuring that its aviation safety oversight system complies with the relevant international safety standards. |
