Sky Bahamas (Nassau International) has secured an interim injunction against AOG Maintenance Company, blocking the property owner from selling any of the grounded carrier's assets held at Nassau International Airport, the broadcaster EyeWitness News has reported.
The airline ceased flight operations on July 8, 2019, pending the renewal of its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) by the Bahamas Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA). It was then evicted from its airport premises in early August, and on August 17, it also found itself locked out of its office in the city of Nassau.
The Supreme Court of the Bahamas provided the "ex parte" interim injunction on December 18, but the order can still be set aside, EyeWitness News said. Sky Bahamas took the action when it understood that AOG was preparing to sell its property.
Randy Butler, the airline’s president and chief executive, has repeatedly suggested that his business was intentionally sabotaged for what appeared to be political and personal reasons, claims rejected by the BCAA.
Two months ago, Sky Bahamas put its only Beech 1900D, a 1991 vintage turboprop C6-SBF (msn UE-002), up for sale. The carrier also operated two Saab 340As and one Saab 340B.
