Japanese airline Peach reduces services
May 30, 2014
Japanese-based carrier, Peach, has cancelled approximately 448 flights in its northern summer scheduling period from May to June due a flight crew shortage. The airline cited that its reduction in operations during this period was impacted by its inability to source sufficient flight crew to operate the services. The airline later noted that it would likely have to also cancel a further 894 flights in July and August. The airline stated that an unexpected number of its flight crew have taken leave due to health reasons. As a consequence, the airline cannot sufficiently meet the crew requirements in order to operate the airline’s projected summer schedule. The final financial impact of these cancelations will likely not be realised until the airline can return to its anticipated level of operations.

Philippines Upgraded to Category 1
April 19, 2014
The Philippines has successfully passed an audit by the U.S-based civil aviation authority, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA).

The audit was conducted as a part of the FAA’s International Aviation Safety Assessment (IASA) program, which assesses the ability of a country’s civil aviation regulator to meet internationally recognised standards of regulatory oversight.

The FAA downgraded the CAAP to a Category 2 country in 2008, after concerns were raised regarding the regulator's ability to oversee safety within the Philippines.

The Philippines was re-instated as a Category 1 listed country after the CAAP successfully passed an audit by the FAA in March 2014.
