The Government introduced new modifications in the Argentine Civil Aviation Regulations (RAAC) within the framework of the reforms that are being carried out to the Aeronautical Code.

The regulations modify various topics of operations and general rules for regular and non-scheduled, domestic and international flights.
Among the main novelties of this regulation, it stands out reducing the minimum number of cabin crew necessary for each aircraft operated by regular airlines.
This modification, indicates the official text, will facilitate the incorporation of new airlines or will allow current companies to incorporate more sophisticated aircraft.

Finally, with the objective of debureaucratizing the certification processes of non-scheduled air operators without reducing operational safety standards, A simplified calculation scheme is approved for determining the required hours in aircraft demonstration tests.
This scheme considers, among other factors, the weight of the aircraft and the complexity of the operations that a company that wants to enter the market intends to carry out.
