Low-cost carrier Zest Air's license was suspended Friday, August 16 for several violations of safety regulations.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) informed Zest Air it suspended its Air Operator Certificate in a letter Friday.

"[Your company is] hereby precluded to engage in air carrier operations, which shall take effect upon receipt of this notice/letter and shall remain in effect until this Authority is assured that the necessary corrective actions and compliance with aviation safety standards [have] been undertaken by your airline," CAAP deputy general John Andrews said.

CAAP said Zest Air violated, among others, Subsection 9.2.2.2 (a) of the Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations, which states that: "Each operator shall have an accountable manager…who has corporate authority for ensuring that all flight operations and maintenance activities can be financed and carried out to the highest degree of safety standards."
