Air National relinquishes air operating certificate

Air National, the charter airline that has been in dispute with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), has relinquished its air operating certificate.

The CAA said it had received a letter from the company advising of the move.

As many as 40 staff could lose their jobs as a result, The Dominion Post reported.

Air National was founded in 1989 and is a charter airline. It also provides daily return services between Christchurch and Oamaru, and Christchurch and Hokitika for Air New Zealand Link, according to its website.

The airline has been in the courts fighting the CAA after it was suspended by the regulator.

The CAA conducted a routine audit of Air National and found evidence of falsification of training records, which was considered a safety risk.
