Executive Summary
State Context
Azerbaijan is the farthest ECAC Member State to the east of Europe bordering with Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Russia to the North and East, Islamic Republic of Iran to the South and Georgia, Armenia and Turkey to the West.
Azerbaijan is among the former USSR countries with the highest economic development characteristics in the area. Azerbaijan’s economy is dynamically evolving and supporting a liberalised political, economic and social system.
Oil and gas production, the chemical industry, agriculture and tourism have become the backbone for this swift advance.
Azerbaijan’s Airspace was located at the interface zone between ECAC/non-ECAC States and Azerbaijan was responsible for transitional tasks (RVSM and non – RVSM, metric system of flight level systems within adjacent FIRs. From November 17th, 2011 buffer zones with Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan were eliminated due to the RVSM transition in these countries.
Azerbaijan is playing a proactive role in the regional and international co-operation in ATM. In addition to ICAO and ECAC membership, Azerbaijan has joined CANSO. Azerbaijan’s membership to EUROCONTROL is under State consideration.
ESSIP Objective Implementation
Implementation of ESSIP objectives is progressing in Azerbaijan, albeit with some delay. The prime cause of delay is the lack of human resources in the CAA and lack of human resources and delayed implementation of new ATM systems in the ANSP.
As Azerbaijan is not a EUROCONTROL or EU member State there has also been a perceived lack of urgency to implement some objectives, e.g. the ones based on EU legislation. Azerbaijan is working on EUROCONTROL membership, which will accelerate the implementation of ESSIP objectives.

Introduction
The Local Single Sky ImPlementation documents (LSSIPs), as an integral part of the ESSIP/LSSIP mechanism, constitute a five-year plan containing ECAC States’ actions to achieve the Implementation Objectives as set out by the ESSIP and to improve the performance of their national ATM System. The LSSIP document – Year 2013 describes the situation in the State at the end of December 2013.
The LSSIP documents are structured into 6 chapters to better differentiate the Stakeholder(s) accountable for the information contained in each of them:
Chapters 1 to 5 present the key players in the State, and sets the institutional and geographical scenes to help the reader understand the specifics of the State and interpret the rest of the document correctly. It also presents a short description of the main national and regional projects in which the national Stakeholders are involved.
Chapter 6 contains high-level information on progress and plans of each ESSIP Objective. The information for each ESSIP Objective is presented in boxes giving a summary of the progress and plans of implementation for each Stakeholder. The conventions used are presented at the beginning of the section.
Note: Chapter 6 is completed with a separate document called LSSIP Level 2. This document consists of a set of tables organised in line with the list of ESSIP Objectives. Each table contains all the actions planned by the four national stakeholders to achieve their respective Stakeholder Lines of Action (SLoAs) as established in the ESSIP.
