✈BHDCA approves operations of Boeing 737MAX aircraft

Bosnia and Herzegovina Directorate of Civil Aviation (BHDCA) has approved operation of Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-9 MAX types of aircraft in the airspace of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In accordance with Article 73 of the Aviation Law of BIH (Official Gazette of BiH 39/09 and 25/18) and Article 51 of the Rulebook on oversight in civil aviation (Official Gazette of BiH 22/16, 24/18, 55/18 and 5/19), as well as EASA Safety Directive No 2021-01, the Bosnia and Herzegovina Directorate of Civil Aviation has issued a safety directive allowing Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft to conduct commercial air transport operations over and above the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.



Before conducting the first commercial air transport flight by means of such aircraft over and above the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the aircraft operator shall meet certain conditions specified in the safety directive, in accordance with the elements contained in the directives of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Please note that in March 2019, after EASA and other countries had done so, the BHDCA also passed a safety directive which suspended flight operations of Boeing 737-8 MAX and Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft over and above the territory of BIH, on the occasion of two aircraft accidents involving these aircraft types.
