Aug 12, 2016 (newstodate): Kyrgyzstan placed high priority on developing its civil aviation business to comply with ICAO and other pertinent standards - and be lifted off the EU Black List.
The Kyrgyz government has thus passed a Government Program of the Kyrgyz Republic for the development of civil aviation in the years 2016-2020, and much effort has been invested in upgrading Bishkek's Manas Airport to comply with international standards through acquisition and implementation of new equipment and infrastructure.
In the country are now 22 airlines, 10 of which operate on own AOCs. Four carrier are dedicated to passenger transportation, while the remaining carriers are cargo and special airlines.
As a recent move, the country's Ministry of Transportation has approved that Kyrgyz airline may hire foreign pilots to operate aircraft types that do not have sufficient supply of licensed Kyrgyz cockpit crews.
Since 2007, all Kyrgyzstan's carriers remain on the EU Black List barring them from operating into EU markets.
