Meeting of leading experts

On 3 June 2025, at the initiative of the leadership of the Association of Civil Aviation ‘Airports of Ukraine’ (AAUCA), a meeting of leading experts: operators, state regulators, practitioners, theorists, scientists, teachers, designers with many years of experience in the field of airfield technical support for flights was held at the office of the well-known company PROGRESS-TECH UKRAINE, where the AAUCA member Aero DS LLC is based.
The event was attended by representatives of: AAUCA, the State Aviation Administration of Ukraine (SAAU), the National Aviation University (NAU), Aero DS LLC, DORCENTER SE, and ANTONOV JSC (all can be identified by their photos).
Due to the outbreak of Russian military aggression, the closure of the airspace for civilian aircraft over Ukraine from 24 February 2022, and the long period of absence of civilian air traffic, the airports suspended their operations. It is hoped that after the martial law is lifted, civilian aircraft flights will resume. To do this, the entire airport infrastructure needs to be prepared, with the main facility being the Airfield Technical Complex (ATC). This involves inspecting and checking all technical parameters of the airfield, training personnel, and providing the necessary equipment and specialised machinery in accordance with certification requirements.
The three-hour discussion covered all the questions raised by the participants. Thanks to the participation of SASU representatives, scientists and practitioners with extensive experience, compromises were found in the approaches to their solution.
The main issues of the meeting:
- Assistance of all stakeholders in the implementation of the State Construction Norms (SCN) ‘Aerodromes’ developed by NAU scientists in 2022. At the moment, everything depends on the state authorities - how quickly they will approve these norms and find compromises in controversial issues. AAUCA will send a letter to the Cabinet of Ministers;
- Implementation in Ukraine of ICAO aviation practice on methods and fundamental approaches to the preparation and certification of ATC facilities, systems and personnel, which is in force in all civilised countries of the world;
- involvement of foreign specialists (consultants, experts) to assist in the transition to modern procedures for certification of infrastructure facilities, personnel training, and in establishing interaction between all participants in the aviation security system in accordance with international standards.
All participants agreed with the proposed methods of solving urgent problematic issues and are sincerely grateful to the management of Aero DS LLC for organising and creating comfortable conditions for the event.
