EASA – RAMP INSPECTIONS
June 1st, 2005
BY KEITH NUTHALL
THE EUROPEAN Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has called for the "reinforcement" of European Union (EU) standards for ramp inspections of non-EU aircraft calling at EU airports. The idea, said EASA, was "that the same procedures are applied throughout the EU in a transparent and harmonised manner". The appeal came following the recent ban on Turkish airline Onur Air by Germany, France and the Netherlands and was in line with European Commission thinking, said EASA.
