Italy’s Ernest Airlines ordered to suspend operations
Italian authorities are to suspend the operating licence of carrier Ernest Airlines from mid-January, although it has not detailed the reasons for the decision. Civil aviation regulator ENAC says that the suspension will take effect from Jan 13. But it states that there are “no imminent critical issues” which would jeopardise operational safety. The suspension is intended to allow the carrier to “protect passengers” who are already booked to travel with the carrier. ENAC says the suspension is being deferred until next month in consideration of the holiday period, including that for Ukraine which commences at a later date. Ernest operates a small fleet of Airbus single-aisle jets <br/>
