IBC Airways' Cayes-Miami Flight at Stall

IBC Airways' Cayes-Miami flight, which was scheduled to launch in mid-July, is currently at a standstill due to the lack of authorization from the National Airport Authority (AAN) to find space at Antoine Simon Airport in Les Cayes. Since the entire airport is occupied by another airline, IBC Airways has requested authorization from the AAN to place its services in specially designed containers. IBC has received approval from the planning department, the OFNAC, and the FAA. The teams have been formed, but after six correspondences with the AAN management, the airline has still not received a response. Without this authorization, the flight cannot be launched.
