Key points

  • The proposal aims to amend the common rules governing how air services operate within the European Community.
  • The amendment focuses on changing the conditions under which aircraft from non-EU countries can be wet-leased into the European market.
  • Currently, there is a general limit of 14 months (split into two 7-month periods) for such leasing arrangements.
  • The new rules would allow these time limits to be extended if specific international agreements are in place and certain safety and social criteria are met.
