The South Ring project corresponds to the Aviation part of the Tacis-TRACECA programme. Conducted under the auspices of the European Commission, the project is carried out by a consortium formed by Egis Avia, the French National Institute for Civil Aviation (ENAC), the St Petersburg University of Civil Aviation, and Aero Development Bureau.
Aviation is indeed an aspect which cannot be ignored in the declared objective to foster the development of the Black Sea, Caucasus and Central Asia regions. For the same reasons as road or railway projects, the South Ring project should reinforce the links and improve the exchanges with Europe and Asia.

Also, it should improve the ATC staff skills and upgrade the safety regulatory framework of National Civil Aviation training institutions and Safety authorities.
The main tasks and activities carried out by Egis Avia are:
