“Hans Airways today announces the successful completion of a new round of financing which will enable it to progress plans to commence scheduled air services between Birmingham and Amritsar in India - and satisfy existing financial obligations.
Hans Airways has satisfied the Civil Aviation Authority's requirements for an Air Operator’s Certificate. The secured new investment will take the airline to the next stage toward satisfying the CAA of its financial viability and subsequent operating licence to provide revenue air services.”

However its difficulties securing an AOC have persisted. ”Fulfilling the rightly-stringent financial criteria required by the UK [Civil Aviation Authority] to commence scheduled operations continues to hinder our launch plans,” the carrier says.
”This is despite satisfying all technical aspects of long-haul airline operations and maintaining a solvent start up business since our inception in 2019.
”In light of this we are pursuing a number of options. This includes the relinquishing of our first aircraft and stepped-up dialogue with prospective new investors and lessors. We maintain close and cordial dialogue with the CAA.”

I think everyone bar the people trying to set the company up knew how this was going to end.

The 'cost' of the AOC will rather depend on how well organised and prepared the applicant is.
If Hans couldn't afford the cost of completing the steps to obtain an AOC, then I rather doubt their finances would have been robust enough to sustain a period of long-haul operations. I rather suspect that the latter, which is assessed as part of the Operating Licence application, might have been more of a stumbling block than the finance needed to complete the AOC process.
