CP Air Furloughs Employees, Suspends Operations Till Further Notice
The FAA won't review California Pacific's application until 2014, until then, Carlsbad airline has furloughed all employees and suspended operations.
The Federal Aviation Administration has informed California Pacific Airlines, which planned to fly out of Carlsbad's McClellan-Palomar Airport, that it will not be able to review its latest application to fly until at least next year, reported the U-T San Diego.
"The delay is so lengthy that California Pacific has furloughed all employees and suspended operations until it hears back from the federal agency, Chief Executive John Selvaggio said Tuesday, adding that he has returned to his Florida home," wrote the U-T.
The airline was confident it would be off the ground and running this year with service to San Jose, Oakland, Sacramento, Las Vegas, Phoenix and eventually Cabo San Lucas.
