Bermuda Aviation Services Ltd.'s (BAS) long-running case against Government looks set to rumble on well into this year with no end in sight.

BAS took Government to court back in June 2007, filing a writ against Premier Ewart Brown in his capacity as Minister of Transport, and former Attorney General Phil Perinchief, over what it claims is a breach of its exclusive rights to provide private jet services at LF Wade International Airport.

The company argued that despite its exclusivity deal running until 2014, new competitor Sovereign Flight Support had been given permission to offer a rival private jet service by Government.

The case has subsequently been sent to arbitration, but CEO of BAS, Ken Joaquin, who is keen for it to be decided as soon as possible, said it may not be resolved for at least another two months at the earliest.

"We were hopeful it might be resolved in February," he said.

"But, I just spoke to our attorney and he told me it could be another two months for something to happen he reckons.

"Apparently we are waiting for 'discovery issues' to be addressed."

Sovereign is believed to be still in the process of converting a former US Air Force building on Southside into a private jet passenger terminal, but BAS believe Sovereign has not had to compete in a tender process for the right to offer the service.

The plans for the renovation of the disused building near Southside Cinema and Pizza House on Southside Road would also include parking space for 13 cars next to the new terminal.
