Air Switzerland not to take off for now

Liechtenstein-Swiss owned Air Switzerland will not be able to take off for some time.

BAZL/OFAC (the Swiss equivalent to FAA/CAA) have not received all necessary documentation in order to issue the necessary AOC.

Having planned flights from LSZH and LSZB starting in July, this is a definite setback for the company. They have some 60 employees on their payroll.

Their spokesman, Bernhard Ecklin, concedes it was a mistake and too ambitious to envisage operations to commence in July. He denies there are any problems, saying that it was "normal practice" for authorities to take time in processing such applications.....
