EU AVIATION REGULATOR WILL ALLOW FAA TO OBSERVE ITS PLANE AUDITS
NEWS Desk Global
Europe's aviation regulator will propose next week that its U.S. counterpart, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), acts as an observer on safety audits including those of Airbus planes. Speaking on the sidelines of the Berlin Aviation Summit, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) new director, Florian Guillermet, said he will be in Washington next week for talks with the FAA.
The aim of the proposal is to be granted reciprocal arrangements with FAA audits of Boeing planes and to increase information sharing more broadly. The two regulators will not go as far as performing joint audits of aircraft.
