SUVA, Fiji – Fiji’s Air Transport Licensing Board has made a startling revelation surrounding American Samoa-based airline Inter Island Airways’ much awaited entry into Fiji’s domestic air transport market.
ATLB Chairman Ernest Dutta says the airline was granted a one year provisional licence in November 2012 to operate domestic flights in Fiji.
Inter Island Airways licence to operate has expired since last November bringing more uncertainty around its plans to start operations in the country.
Dutta says the airline has lodged a renewal for the provisional license but ALTB has decided to put this on hold until they are able to get their Air Operators Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF).
