Armenia may refuse from exploiting An-24 airplanes despite the fact
that three out of five planes are equipped with security systems,
corresponding to the requirements of the International Organization
of Civil Aviation.

Head of the Flight Security Department of the General Board of
Civil Aviation of Armenia Serob Karapetyan told Armenpress that the
countries exploiting An-24 planes – Ukraine and Russia – have applied
to the European Aviation Safety Agency with the request to carry out
validation of these planes, which will enable to certify the jets in
compliance with European standards of flight security.

However, in case of An-24 there is no issue of certification connected
with the structure of the plane.
