Hi again!
In case you missed it on the AWO Webinar, I thought this information could be interesting for other operators:
The major German operators have applied for an Article 71 exemption to the LBA requesting a "grace period" of 6 months to implement the new Air Ops regulations (Fuel scheme and AWO) that enter into force in end of October. This would effectively postpone the enter into force by 6 months.

This is something you can manage directly with your CAA. For more information, refer to the "Basic Regulation".

Good morning,
Thank you for posting this information. Does any colleague from Germany have an indication on the progress of the application for an exemption per article 71 of the Basic Regulation?

Javier Torre

Hello Georgios, I have heard that it has been granted in Germany and Austria, but it would be great if someone can give the confirmation.

Georgios Filiopoulos

Dear Javier, thank you very much for the feedback! During the 2nd fuel rules webinar organised by EASA, the audience was informed on the exemption process and the recommended duration by EASA. It would be great indeed, if a colleague from Germany or Austria could share details.
