Ethiopian Civil Aviation Authority’s (ECAA) working procedure for the coming year is going to be audited by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
According to the Director General of the Authority, Wossenyeleh Hunegnaw (Col.), ICAO will audit ECAA from April 20 to April 29, 2015. A team of inspectors, whose task will be auditing the working procedure of ECAA, will be deployed.
The Director General explained ICAO’s audit comprises of eight critical elements. “From one to five inspections will be conducted on ECAA while the rest will concern operators,” Wossenyeleh said.
ICAO was established in 1944 as a body of the United Nations (UN) under the Chicago Convention and its task is to monitor the global aviation industry. Among other tasks, it inspects and certifies countries civil aviation authorities.
On the other hand ECAA provides air navigation, inspection and certification of aircraft, airports, airlines and aviation professionals. The objective of the authority is to ensure safe and reliable air transport service in Ethiopia.
