Inconsistent availability of financial and/or human resources to the national CAAs in the region
Difficulties to retain adequately qualified and experienced personnel within some CAAs
Transition form a protective regulatory environment to a liberal one, at times unilaterally
Transition from state owned and supported airlines to market driven privatized ones
Aviation generated State income is not necessarily invested in the industry
National oversight Flag of convenience Aging aircraft Rapid expansion Training challenges Regional statistics Emergency response Safety culture

The investigation demonstrated that the lack of regulatory structure and safety oversight in certain states does not allow an appropriate level of safety for passengers and persons on ground
Those weaknesses are the results of many factors, mainly economical considerations and the conviction that flight safety rests primarily on the decisions taken in real time by the front line actors, i.e. the pilot in command
Investigation conclusions supported by ICAO Safety Oversight Audit data
This situation jeopardizes the organization of international civil aviation, founded on trust and mutual acceptance of licenses and agreements
Many CAA are establishing “Black Lists” of carriers and countries
The unhealthy risk of seeing double or multiple standards in the industry is growing and threatening to disturb the air transport system and the economies of many States and regions
Unresolved Arab-Israel conflict; inflames regional tensions & threats
Islamic radical militant groups; threatens safety and security globally
Iraq, Afghanistan & Pakistan instability and insurgency; active anti-government insurgencies considered a threat to regional security
Iranian nuclear and political ambitions; potential threats of actions and counter-actions
Rising insurgencies in central and sub-Saharan Africa; Chad, DRC, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia & Sudan, ongoing instability. Generally, endemic poverty, crime & corruption, refugees, militancy and separatist insurgencies + oil & gas
Different national requirements; LAG, No-Fly-List / PPP, etc
6 fatal accidents in 2004 with 209 deaths
