The Civil Aviation Accident and Serious Incident Investigation Division of Armenia’s Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure and the Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) of France signed a “Declaration of Intent” today to enhance cooperation and mutual support in the investigation of aviation accidents and incidents.
The cooperation aims to strengthen civil aviation safety in Armenia and prevent aviation accidents by improving investigative capacity and sharing expertise.
Under the agreement, the BEA will, free of charge and within the limits of its capabilities, provide Armenia with expert investigator services when needed, as well as support in decoding and analyzing flight data and cockpit voice recordings, and grant access to its technical laboratories.
Established in 1946, the BEA is regarded as the leading aviation accident investigation body in the European Union, having achieved a 100% positive result in ICAO’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program (USOAP).
