Swiss regulator to meet Etihad Regional board | GulfNews.com:



"Darwin Airline, operating as Etihad Regional, will meet with Switzerland’s civil aviation authority later this month in an effort to convince the regulator to approve a stake purchase by Etihad Airways.



Etihad Airways announced in November 2013 plans to buy 33.3 per cent of the rebranded Swiss-based Darwin Airline. Switzerland’s Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA/BAZL) has raised concerns with the stake purchase, namely Etihad Airways influence.



“Darwin had been given until the end of January 2015 to state its position and to suggest corrective measures. Until now, we got no position paper from Darwin, but an invitation from the board of directors for a meeting in mid-February. Then, Darwin will explain us their new business strategy,” a FOCA spokesperson told Gulf News by email."
