• an application in the prescribed form;
• founding documents, certificate of registration, balance sheet, statement of financial results, the act of the latest audit or the act of an inspection of financial and economic activity by tax authorities;

• copies of contracts with an air carrier;
• a bank certificate of the existence of a reserve or a certificate from the air carrier about the existence of a deposit account (insurance policy);
• information about the staff;
• documents confirming compliance with qualification requirements for personnel and the availability of premises;
• information on the use of automated reservation systems, including official confirmation from the authorized body of the system regarding the presence or subsequent implementation of this system.

The state fee for issuing the certificate is paid in two stages:

The review period for the document package is 20 working days.
The certificate is valid for 2 years.

Conditions required for issuing the certificate:

The amount is agreed with the air carrier and must be sufficient to cover losses caused by the agency’s fault;
• the staff must include at least one specialist who has completed courses of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) or other certified courses;
