So whether it's de-facto or de-jure, the rules are more lax there (and for sure that's the case for emission and noise requirements, which is a big reason for European and North American airlines to retire aircraft before they run out of fatigue life). | |

Especially in Africa and parts of Asia the maintenance and safety requirements are rather more lax than in say Europe or north America. | |
