Staff writer, with CNAThe government has decided to revoke Far Eastern Air Transport’s (FAT) civil aviation flight permit after it made a surprise announcement in December that it was canceling its flights. Beyond revoking FAT’s flight permit, the ministry also fined the carrier NT$3 million (US$99,174). All of FAT’s air rights for domestic and international flights were revoked and would be reassigned to other carriers, the ministry said. While FAT repeatedly vowed to obtain new funds, the ministry said that the carrier failed to deliver on its promises. As for FAT’s employees, Deputy Minister of Labor Lin Ming-yu (林明裕) said that the Ministry of Labor would assist them in finding new jobs through a job-matching service.
