Icao to Russia: Stop violating Chicago Convention!
During its 226th meeting session, the Icao council considered matters referring to the operation of double-registered aircraft in the Russian Federation. Article 18 of the Chicago Convention provides that an aircraft cannot be validly registered in more than one state.
Referring to the legal principles of this article and to an oral report on the queries undertaken by the Icao Secretariat in the interests of air safety in the context of operation of aircraft, the council called on Russia to immediately cease its infractions of the Chicago Convention, in order to preserve the safety and security of civil aviation, and to urgently remedy these violations.
The UN agency which helps 193 countries to cooperate and share their skies to their mutual benefit will continue to monitor the situation closely. (ah)
