“Despite the impending expiry of its license tonight, there is no cause for concern as the regulations permit license renewal within two years of expiry,” the company said in a statement.

It also added that it was “confident” of securing approval from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to re-start operations and that it was in the process of replying to concerns raised by the regulator.
