Ocean Air starts sale of tickets to Gan

MALE, Feb 10 (HNS) – Ocean Air has started selling tickets to Addu Atoll Gan sector for upcoming Eid holidays although it has not officially confirmed a date yet for resuming its flights. An official said that inspections on a plane it recently acquired are near to completion and therefore the company expected to shortly get the official go-ahead for resuming its flights. "That's why we began to sell tickets. We are planning to arrange two flights per day during the Eid holidays," the official told Haveeru. Ocean Air has brought a 36-passenger plane to operate to all domestic destinations. The private airline temporarily halted its operations in November 2001 after getting a replacement plane. The break in its operations occurred due to ongoing inspections of the airline's new plane.
