SkyMark Executive secures EASA TCO authorisation for EU flight operations

In a significant milestone, SkyMark Executive has proudly announced the successful completion of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Third Country Operator (TCO) audit, marking its entry into authorised flight operations to European Union countries.

Captain Farid Gharzeddine, CEO of SkyMark Executive, expressed the company's commitment to safety and cooperation during the rigorous EASA TCO audit. The outcome is the granting of Third Country Operator (TCO) authorisation, effective from September 2023.

As an EASA TCO, SkyMark Executive gains the green light to conduct flights into various European Union countries. This authorisation has been a prerequisite for non-European Union air carriers since November 2016, allowing them to secure traffic rights or permits for flights to EU destinations.

Notably, SkyMark Executive's dedication to safety is underscored by its recent attainment of the Air Operating Certificate (AOC) from the San Marino Civil Aviation Authority in July 2023. This certification signifies the company's adherence to stringent safety, operational and regulatory standards, aligning it with the highest airline safety benchmarks.

SkyMark Executive's achievement of EASA TCO authorisation and the earlier acquisition of the AOC reflects its unwavering commitment to excellence and safety. These authorisations not only open new horizons for its operations into the European Union but also affirm its position as a trusted and secure choice for global flight operations. It looks forward to continued growth, maintaining the highest standards in every aspect of its services.
