Following a visit to Armenia in September 2025, the European Commission found no violations in the work of the Civil Aviation Committee and two Armenian airlines that could threaten flight safety, according to the head of the CAC, Mihran Khachatryan. Despite this, Armenian carriers have remained on the EU "blacklist" since 2020 and cannot operate commercial flights in EU airspace.
The decision to include them on the list was based on reports from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The latest DG MOVE audit revealed only technical shortcomings related to the incomplete implementation of the quality control system. Some of the comments have already been addressed, and a corrective action plan submitted to the EU on October 27 is being implemented for the rest. The results were discussed at the November meeting of the EU Air Safety Committee, but there is no official decision yet to remove Armenia from the list.
In addition, the EU has offered Armenia a "twinning" program: from the beginning of 2026, experts from the Union countries will help the CAC strengthen the civil aviation system and implement European regulations, which should increase compliance with standards and accelerate the possible lifting of restrictions in the future.
