No security screening for Waves passengers
THERE will be no requirement for Waves to have security screening due to the size of its aircraft, the island's director of civil aviation has confirmed.
However, Gus Paterson said the Uber-style air taxi's application for a 2-REG air operators' certificate will have been treated against the same standards as a commercial operator.
'An AOC is an AOC – there is no difference in the very high standards applied to different types of operation,' he said, referring to an air operator's certificate, the commercial transport licence for airlines.
Waves chief executive officer Nick Magliocchetti has said they are currently in the final stages of gaining certification with 2-REG and are still planning to launch the service, initially with one Cessna Grand Caravan, at the end of the month.
Senior officers at Waves have confirmed they will operate the Caravan with two crew.
