Russian CAA Makes Further Steps for Easier Access to Russian Air Space

Russia and neighboring countries, has informed its clients about the changes in official procedures, facilitating access to Russian air space. New positive changes to Russian permit procedures for non-regular flights are to be introduced on June 01, 2013.

For example, official notice for flights with aircraft up to 18 seats is decreased from three to one full office day. Larger aircraft have to stay with three office days as before. Since June 01 the permit is dealt with by Russian CAA and Russian ATC authorities directly and any flight support requesting Russian permit should be officially certified for this function.
That means a more friendly access to Russian market for all foreign operators and results in better operational environment for all customers performing flights to Russia.
