EASA FTL Airport Standby

[Skipname]

Hi,

I was wondering if the airlines are required by the regulating authorities to provide adequate facilities to the crew on airport standby, something like a crew lounge.

If so, could you point me to the relevant documents. I have a special interest in the requirements laid down by EASA or CAA.

Yes they do. The company have to give 'Accommodation' to crew meeting requirements such as no public interaction etc.

The EASA/CAA Document linked below gives a definition of accommodation and that is the reference.

“accommodation” means, for the purpose of standby and split duty, a quiet and comfortable place not open to the public with the ability to control light and temperature, equipped with adequate furniture that provides a crew member with the possibility to sleep, with enough capacity to accommodate all crew members present at the same time and with access to food and drink;
