It was not the first time that FAT had canceled flights without notification, the CAA said, adding that it would review the airline’s flight schedule. FAT’s flight hours have been restricted since March 2017, because the average age of its aircraft was more than 24 years, it said. The limit on flights was initially set at 1,100 hours per month and was raised to 1,400 hours after the airline’s flight safety records showed signs of improvement. “We will review the flight schedule and issue sanctions immediately if it deliberately exceeded its flight limit,” the CAA said. The airline has been warned that it must not abruptly cancel flights again, and it must give adequate warning of reduced flights to the CAA and travel agencies, Chi said.
