UK CAA TCO Consulting
Navigating Post-Brexit Market Access with Aero Support Group
Aero Support Group provides expert UK CAA TCO Consulting, guiding airlines through compliance with ICAO Annexes and UK CAA requirements to secure UK market access.
Introduction
Following Brexit, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) established its own Third Country Operator (TCO) approval regime, separate from EASA TCO. For any non-UK airline, UK CAA TCO authorization is now a legal requirement to operate commercial flights to or from the UK.
While the framework is largely based on ICAO SARPs (Annex 6 – Operations, Annex 8 – Airworthiness, Annex 18 – Dangerous Goods, Annex 19 – Safety Management), there are unique UK-specific requirements and processes that can make the application complex.
For airlines seeking to expand into the UK market, Aero Support Group provides complete consulting support — ensuring smooth, compliant, and efficient approval.

Why UK CAA TCO Approval Matters
- Mandatory Market Access – No approval, no flights to the UK.
- Independent of EASA – Airlines must apply separately to the UK CAA even if they already hold EASA TCO.
- Passenger & Partner Confidence – Approval proves compliance with ICAO and UK CAA safety standards.
- Strategic Growth – Access to one of the world’s busiest aviation markets (London, Manchester, Heathrow hubs).
Challenges Airlines Face
- Duplicated Documentation – EASA TCO documents must be adapted to UK formats.
- Regulatory Nuances – UK CAA applies its own interpretations of ICAO Annexes.
- Oversight Proof – Demonstrating compliance with ICAO Annex 19 SMS standards.
- Dangerous Goods Requirements – Alignment with Annex 18 & EU OPS rules.
- Time-Consuming Applications – Delays caused by incomplete submissions.
