Doesn't "The Qantas Group" already hold a few "Domestic AOC's"?
They would still hold the TAA/Australian Airlines AOC, didn't they also end up with the Ansett AOC?
Not positive about that last one though!
So is all this discussion
really going on in an environment in which some of those in the discussion have NFI as to which entities, precisely, hold or have applied for what AOCs authorising the operation of what aircraft, where, or what must be done from a regulatory perspective to get or keep holding those AOCs?
I’d suggest that an accurate knowledge of what AOCs are held by or have been applied for by which entity, what those AOCs do or may authorise and what’s necessary from a regulatory perspective to be issued with and maintain them, is
essential to playing this game of chess.
