On 6 March 2014, the European Commission adopted new rules providing for the first time common standards for safe design, operation and maintenance in over 700 of the largest EU and EEA airports. The new rules put in place a European legal framework for national aviation authorities to certify airports' compliance with technical and operational requirements, as well as for the oversight of certified airports. They allow for the necessary flexibility in case of deviations from the airports design rules in case of already existing infrastructure. They also outline the necessary steps for the conversion of existing national airports' certificates, based on national rules, to new certificates based on the European rules. |
