Flight operations expert- IFC has been working with Kyrgyz Republic Civil Aviation Agency (CAA) to provide technical assistance to address comments related to recently completed International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) audit. Air connectivity is the key priority for the successful development of tourism in landlocked countries such as Kyrgyz Republic. In this regard; successful passing of the ICAO audit and further implementation of the ICAO correction plan recommendations would definitely contribute to further exclusion of Kyrgyz Republic from the EU air safety list and set up conditions for launch of direct air routes with Europe as priority inbound tourist destinations. This ToR seeks the services of a short-term consultant (STC) with extensive experience in experience in ICAO or European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) providing expertise and other assistance to government authorities and private sector organizations at senior levels; engagement in working groups to provide advocacy and promote business-oriented changes to the legislation. Work will mostly be done online; with one week mission to Bishkek in January 2024. Cost of mission will be covered by IFC as per ToR”
