THE airline and the pilot of a plane that went missing in Venezuela with Italian fashion executive Vittorio Missoni, his wife and four others on board were not licensed to fly, Italian investigators said yesterday.
Italy's agency for flight security, ANSV, said its investigation had found the airline that owned the plane was not fully licensed to operate and the pilot's licence had expired on November 30 – more than a month before the flight took place on January 5.
