The U.S. civil aviation regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has proposed a USD$735,000 fine for Mexican-based carrier, Volaris, after the airline allegedly operated 121 flights with a non-compliant aircraft. In March 2013, The FAA had reportedly notified the airline that it’s U.S.-registered Airbus A319 aircraft had not been subjected to a required inspection regarding an emergency slide and weight and balance calculations. However, the airline reportedly failed to comply with this request and continued to operate the aircraft approximately 121 times before bringing the aircraft into compliance. The airline has 30 days to respond to the proposed fine issued by the FAA.

In late June 2015, all airlines operating under the jurisdiction of the Civil Aviation Administration of the Philippines (CAAP) were officially withdrawn from the EU banned list of carriers. All Filipino-based carriers were placed on the EU ban list in 2010 after the EU determined that the CAAP failed to adhere to internationally recognised standards in regulatory oversight. This ban consequently prohibited all carriers operating under the oversight of the CAAP from operating within European airspace. Since this time, the CAAP has worked to successfully improve the regulatory standards within the Philippines. As a result, the EU has now determined that the CAAP adheres to the required standards and has subsequently moved to remove all Filipino-based airlines from the ban list.

In late April 2015, The Indonesian Government officially announced that it had withdrawn plans to recapitalise the defunct state-owned domestic carrier, Merpati Nusantara Airlines. In January 2015, Merpati cited that it had temporarily suspended operations due to the carriers escalating debts. The airline stated that the temporary grounding would allow it to undertake a restructuring and consolidation process, with the airline then noting that it expected to recommence operations in late March 2015. However, in late April 2015 the airline officially declared that it would be permanently ceasing operations.
