Superjet plan emerges ahead of Adria Airways AOC auction

Collapsed Adria Airways’ AOC is set to be auctioned Jan 23, and the administrator for the bankrupt company is formally inviting bids. The invitation says the lot being presented for auction effectively amounts to the whole business of Adria, in particular all permits to operate air services – including the AOC. It warns that the buyer will need to obtain other required licences before commencing commercial air transport, in accordance with EC regulations. The buyer must also be prepared to “remedy” at its own expense any legal “discrepancies” arising from previous decisions by Slovenia’s civil aviation authority to suspend the carrier’s certificate, it adds. Bidders will be expected to offer a starting price of E45,000 for the assets under auction, increasing by E500 steps. <br/>
