The control of subcontracting in the civil aviation sector is essential to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Recent discussions between the ARSP and the AAC in the Democratic Republic of Congo highlight the importance of this control. Ensuring that subcontractors comply with ticketing, catering and handling regulations prevents breaches and risks to flight safety. The ARSP has already started checks and aims to enhance transparency and promote fair business practices. Rigorous control of subcontracting has advantages such as passenger safety, fair competition and passenger confidence. This is an essential step forward for the development of the aviation sector in the DRC.
