Pawa Dominicana has been grounded by the Dominican aviation regulator citing its growing debt mountain.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Dominican Republic’s civil aviation board (Junta de Aviaci\u00f3n Civil – JAC) said in a statement issued on Saturday, January 28, that it had suspended PAWA’s Certificate of Economic Authorization (equivalent to an Air Operator’s Licence) for a period of ninety (90) days following a submission by the country’s civil aviation authority (Instituto Dominicano de Aviaci\u00f3n Civil – IDAC) on Friday, January 26.<\/p>\n

JAC said its decision had also taken into consideration a filing made by local airport operator (Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI – AERODOM) which has withheld services from the carrier on two occasions over the past twelve months citing non-payment of aeronautical and airport fees\/charges. The carrier’s total debt is said to exceed USD3 million dollars.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

PAWA has ten (10) working days to respond to the allegations and to present evidence which it deems appropriate to its defence.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The ch-aviation fleets module shows PAWA operates one\u00a0MD-82<\/a>\u00a0and two\u00a0MD-83<\/a>s on scheduled passenger flights to Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Curacao, Cuba, the United States, Puerto Rico, and St. Maarten. The JAC has said it will assist passengers affected by the grounding.<\/p>\n

PAWA did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>
