Albanian Airlines MAK responded adequately and in a timely fashion to the enquiry by the civil aviation authority of France, Germany and Italy regarding the corrective actions undertaken to address these safety deficiencies.

| (12) | The competent authorities of Albania (DGCA) however confirmed that the deficiencies identified in SAFA inspections actually pointed to systemic deficiencies in the operations and the quality system of Albanian Airlines MAK. The DGCA carried out an in-depth investigation of the air carrier’s compliance with the applicable safety standards, following which they decided to impose restrictions on the operation and structural changes to the air carrier. In particular the DGCA informed the Air Safety Committee that the fleet was reduced from 3 to 2 aircraft and that the aircraft of type MD-82 with registration ZA-ASA was withdrawn from the AOC of Albanian Airlines and deregistered on 1 October 2009. In addition, the DGCA limited on 23 October the operations of the air carrier to the level and destinations existing at that date and requested the air carrier to change, with immediate effect, its management and reinforce the quality management and safety management systems. |

Egypt Air

Egypt Air

| (17) | In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 619/2009 (6) and following the presentation of the Corrective Action Plan in June 2009, the competent authorities of Egypt have submitted four monthly reports covering July, August, September and October 2009 to show the status of implementation of the plan as verified by these authorities. Further to these reports which have focused on ramp checks of aircraft of Egypt Air, the competent authorities of Egypt were requested to provide the audit reports for maintenance, continuing airworthiness and flight operations that they carried out on the air carrier. The competent authorities of Egypt transmitted on 10 November the report of the base inspection of Egypt Air in October 2009 which led to the renewal of the AOC of the air carrier. The audit reports for continued airworthiness, flight and ground operations were not transmitted. The documents provided show that, while significant progress has been made by the air carrier, further improvements in the areas of maintenance and engineering and operations are anticipated. |

Air carriers from Djibouti

Air carriers from Djibouti

| (30) | There is verified evidence of a lack of ability of the authorities responsible for the oversight of air carriers licensed in Djibouti to address safety deficiencies, as demonstrated by the results of the audit of Djibouti carried out by ICAO in the framework of the Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) in March 2008. This audit reported a large number of significant deficiencies with regard to the capability of the civil aviation authorities of Djibouti to discharge their air safety oversight responsibilities. At the time of the completion of the ICAO audit, more than 96% of ICAO standards were not implemented. |

| (31) | There is evidence of insufficient ability of the competent authorities of Djibouti to remedy effectively the non-compliance findings made by ICAO, as demonstrated by the fact that ICAO considers in its final report dated February 2009 that a very significant part of the corrective actions proposed or implemented by these authorities do not actually address the deficiencies observed. In the area of aircraft operations in particular, more than two-third of the actions proposed by Djibouti were not considered as fully acceptable by ICAO. |

In addition, there are operators functioning with a provisional operating licence and without an AOC’

| (40) | On 26 August 2009, a cargo aircraft operated by the air carrier Aero Fret Business certified in the Republic of Congo suffered an accident near the airport of Brazzaville, killing all six occupants. As State of Occurrence, the Republic of Congo is responsible for the safety investigation which must be carried out under the provisions of Annex 13 to the Chicago Convention in order to identify the causes and avoid the re-occurrence of such an accident. However, the ICAO audit also identified 11 deficiencies in the field of accident investigation in the Republic of Congo, of which 6 proposed corrective actions were not considered satisfactory. |

At the same date, the competent authority of the Republic of Congo informed the companies Aero Fret Business, Canadian Airways, Congo Airways (WAC), Emeraude, Equajet, Heli-Union Congo, Mani Air Fret, Mistral Aviation and Protocole Aviation that their AOCs were withdrawn pending examination of the necessary documentation required to obtain a new AOC. In addition, the Air Operators Certificates of the following companies were withdrawn: Air Cargo International, BIP Congo, Brazza Airways, Clesh Aviation, Finalair, Heavy Lift Congo, Ligne Aérienne Colombe, Locair Craft, Maouene, Natalco Airlines and United Express Service. However, these authorities did not demonstrate that the certification process followed for the issuance of any AOC complies with the relevant ICAO standards nor that the oversight of the air carriers to which they have issued AOCs is carried out in compliance with these standards. |

| (81) | The Afghan Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (MoTCA) has written outlining the progress made by both the MoTCA and Ariana towards meeting International Standards. They confirmed Ariana Afghan Airlines had undergone significant changes in aircraft equipment, management and documentation, but confirmed they had yet to conduct an audit of the operator, although one was planned to be completed by the end of 2009. Thus MoTCA are not yet in a position to confirm that Ariana Afghan Airlines are compliant with ICAO Standards and have an effective system in place for the management of safety. Although MoTCA stated that various oversight activities (e.g. flight and base inspections) had taken place this year, they did not provide any evidence of the results of these inspections. |
