Common aviation area agreement to be signed soon – Maasikas

Head of the EU Delegation to Ukraine Matti Maasikas has announced the signing of the Common Aviation Area Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union in the near future.

He said this at a meeting of the Commission for Coordination of the Implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement on February 3, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"As for the Common Aviation Area Agreement, Ukraine has fulfilled everything on its part, and the signing will take place in the near future," Maasikas said.

A meeting of the Ukraine-EU Association Council will take place on February 11.

The European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) is a bilateral agreement between the EU and third countries that establishes common safety standards and liberalizes aviation market relations, ensuring more efficient and safer use of airspace.

Negotiations on the ECAA with Ukraine ended in 2013, but the signing of the agreement was blocked due to the UK-Spain conflict over the status of Gibraltar airport.
