Livingston to shut down on July 14

Livingston Compagnia Aerea (2nd) (New Livingston) (Milan-Malpensa) will cease operations on July 14 after the ENAC announced the revocation of its Air Operators Certificate (AOC). The airline is guaranteeing its flights until then and is also appealing the decision.

On June 25 the airline issued this statement:

New Livingston has filed a petition with the Court of Busto Arsizio for the admission to the settlement with creditors procedure pursuant to article 161, paragraph 6 of the Italian Bankruptcy Law (so called “concordato preventivo”).

New Livingston resolved to apply for the above mentioned instrument, in order to overcome a temporary financial crisis ascribable to, inter alia, the bankruptcy of Aeradria S.p.A., significant delays in collecting certain credits and the recent revocation of the PSO route Alghero – Roma Fiumicino and vice versa (in connection with such measure, a claim against Regione Autonoma della Sardegna is still in progress). The above, in compliance with the so-called “par condicio creditorum”.

New Livingston has already provided to ENAC the documentation needed in order to immediately obtain the revocation of the suspension measure of its carries license starting from 00:01 of July 14, 2014 or the issuance of a provisional carrier license, on the basis of article 9, paragraph 1, of the Regulation (EC) No. 1008/2008 and paragraph 4.6 of the Circular ENAC EAL-16 of 27 February 2008.

New Livingston will continue its full operation of scheduled connections guaranteeing its high standards of quality and safety.

The second version of Livingston started operations on March 31, 2012.

Previously on December 15, 2011 Riccardo Toto bought the assets of defunct Livingston Energy Flight (1st) from the company in receivership. The name “Livingston” was reborn. The airline is privately held.

The company currently operates three Airbus A320s and the main route is from Rome to Alghero, Sardinia.

The Livingston name is being revived by Richard Toto. The new version will also be based at Milan (Malpensa). The new Italian charter airline is intending to operate four Airbus A320s.

The first, the pictured Airbus A320-232 EI-ERH (msn 2157), was rolled out of the Eirtech paint shop at Shannon on February 13, 2012. The airframe was previously operated by AviaNova of Russia.

The full details of the new Livingston are due to be released on February 16, 2012 at a press conference in Milan.

The original Livingston Energy Flight (Milan-Malpensa) was established on January 13, 2003 and commenced operations on May 9, 2003. Lauda Air Italy was established in 1990 and was majority-owned by the Volante company, which was controlled by Niki Lauda, while the remaining shares were by Gruppo Ventaglio. On March 31, 2003, Gruppo Ventaglio purchased Volante’s share and integrated Lauda Air Italy into Livingston under the parent company of the Livingston Aviation Group. This group is wholly-owned by the Viaggi del Ventaglio Group. On October 9, 2010 the company announced it was suspending operations on October 14, 2010 after ENAC (Italian Civil Aviation Authority) suspended its AOC.
