Trading of AOC's
I did not think a company could sell its AOC?
From the Civil Aviation Act....
27 AOCs
(1) CASA may issue AOCs for the purposes of its functions.
(2) Except as authorised by an AOC, or by a permission under section 27A:
(a) an aircraft shall not fly into or out of Australian territory; and
(b) an aircraft shall not operate in Australian territory; and
(c) an Australian aircraft shall not operate outside Australian territory.
(2A) An AOC may authorise the flying or operation of an aircraft, other than the operation of a foreign registered aircraft on domestic commercial flights, by authorising the flying or operation of aircraft included in a class of aircraft described in the AOC.
(2B) An AOC may be issued only to a natural person or to a body having legal personality.
(3) If a holder of an AOC makes a request in writing to CASA for the revocation of the AOC, CASA must cancel the AOC.
(7) The term of an AOC shall be as determined by CASA.
(8) An AOC is not transferable.
(9) Subsection (2) applies only to the flying or operation of an aircraft for such commercial purposes as are prescribed.
And this....
28BF Organisation, personnel etc.
(1) The holder of an AOC must at all times maintain an appropriate
organisation, with a sufficient number of appropriately qualified
personnel and a sound and effective management structure, having regard
to the nature of the operations covered by the AOC.
(2) The holder must establish and maintain any supervisory positions in the
organisation, or in any training and checking organisation established as
part of it, that CASA directs, having regard to the nature of the operations
covered by the AOC.
28BG Operations headquarters and suitable buildings
The holder of an AOC must at all times maintain:
(a) an operations headquarters, through which CASA can communicate
with any person responsible for any part of the operations covered by
the AOC; and
(b) suitable buildings, having regard to the nature of those operations, at
each aerodrome where members of the holder’s operating crews are
based.
