Jun 17, 2010 (newstodate): Aviation companies in Iceland complain about excessively long processing times by the country's Civil Aviation Authority, delaying the issuance of its AOC. But this is flatly refuted by the CAA.
-Due to the economic crisis in Iceland and the downsizing of the entire public sector, the ICAA published a warning to its customers and future customers telling them there might be some delays in process of applications.
-The ICAA is, however, proud to announce that delays have been minimal, if any, says Valdis Asta Adalsteinsdottir, ICAA manager public relations & special projects.
One applicant, the new Icelandic ACMI provider under formation, Proaviation told newstodate another story earlier this week.
-It has proved to be no less difficult to handle the extremely long processing time required by Iceland's CAA to approve our application and issue the AOC necessary to take the next steps, said Valdimar Saemundsson, Proaviation.
-The Icelandic CAA, always very helpful to the industry, was earlier able to process these things much faster, but workloads seem to be piling up, with insufficient manpower to cope with demands, he said.
