ICAO lifts SSC against Botswana
The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) has lifted two Significant Safety Concerns (SSC) against Botswana after the country passed an ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM).
The SSCs were implemented in 2013 after an ICVM audit identified problems with Civil Aviation Authority of Botswana's (CAAB) regulation of Air Operations and Airworthiness, ch-aviation has reported.
It was found that major modifications and aircraft repairs were carried out without CAAB approval.
Removal of SSCs, and CAAB’s renewed ability to certify new airlines is expected to benefit the local aviation scene, and start-ups such as Blue Sky Aviation.
