In August 2014, the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) issued a draft new version of Circular EAL 14A, which lays down provisions to grant air traffic rights to air carriers to operate extra-UE scheduled flights to and from Italy. According to ENAC itself, the revision of the previous version of the Circular became necessary in order to update the legal framework on the matter and to simplify ENAC's administrative activity, as well as to tackle the challenges of the air transport industry and favour new business opportunities.

The new Circular, which will become Circular EAL 14B once it comes into effect, was accompanied by a new draft model agreement for the attribution of extra-EU scheduled services, to be signed by ENAC and the air carrier. Both documents were subject to a stakeholder consultation process, which ended on 24 September 2014. It is therefore expected that the final version of Circular EAL 14B will be published soon.
