EU to watch after Bulgarian Aviation

The EU commission has received disturbing report concerning the quality of Bulgarian civil aviation. The report forced the commission to take extra measures that will result affect local air carriers that will have to keep carrying out current bilateral agreements with each EU member state instead of making use of Eu's open sky policy.

Lack of qualified specialists and permanent training programmes and insufficient or no measures for dealing with irregularities also appeared among the reasons for the safeguard clause imposition.

All that means that Bulgaria's aviation will be subjected to a European Commission (EC) safeguard clause in relation to civil aviation safety.
