The General Directorate of Civil Aviation has once again suspended, this time indefinitely, the operating permit for the company Nature Air.

Following the accident that occured in Guanacaste in December 2017, in January the General Directorate of Civil Aviation decided to temporarily suspend flights, arguing that due to problems in the company’s administrative structure, they could not guarantee the safety of their operations. Although 15 days later they lifted the suspension and gave authorization for it to resume operations, the company failed to do so.

Ennio Cubillo, director of Civil Aviation, said that “…‘That is an abandonment of routes, because they have a certificate and approval of routes and there was never any cancellation of routes by the Technical Council of Civil Aviation (Cetac), that is grounds for suspension of the certificate.’“

Nacion.com reports that Cubillo also said that “… there are a series of non-compliances that are under evaluation. At this time, for example, the company does not even have the primary fleet necessary to operate.“
