Speaking about this devil might not be palatable. As pointed out on this article, they really don't have an AOC, as confirmed to me by CAAP.
Congressman Fernandez personally participated in all the negotiations, showing his involvement and "advancement". After the broker had found a B757F for them, owned by the Georgian operator GEO SKY (which is important to know for further understanding of the situation), things went uphill for our heroes. The aircraft flew to Hong Kong several times.
For obvious reasons, there was no end of clients. Moreover, the broker who had leased the aircraft to the Filipinos additionally took upon himself the provision of fuel, order of handling services and obtaining permits for the aircraft. On credit…
The problems began when AERO BLEU AIRWAYS wanted to fly on the routes Singapore - Philippines and Japan - Philippines. The Philippine and Japanese authorities did not give permission for these flights. This is where the commercial fervor of our heroes from AERO BLEU AIRWAYS quickly faded. They not only stopped paying for the lease of the aircraft, but also did not pay for the fuel, handling services and permits for already completed flights to Hong Kong that were provided on credit. As a result, the debt for leasing of the aircraft and provided services has reached $751,536.
As the top manager of the AERO BLEU AIRWAYS company, Jesse E. Santos, subsequently wrote in his explanation to the administration of the BLACKLIST.AERO Registry, verbatim:
“They bring an aircraft to us without anywhere to go. It doesn’t have any permit or approval.” . . .
Although any specialist will immediately remember that Singapore and Japan comply with the Principle of the fifth freedom. And that an aircraft with Georgian registration, which is in the registry of a Georgian airline, can fly from Singapore or Japan only to Georgia! And
in order for it to fly from there to the Philippines, it needs to be registered with a Philippine operator!
And AERO BLEU AIRWAYS doesn't have its own AOC, despite the pretentious prefix AIRWAYS. And they didn’t plan to do such “cumbersome” procedures. For what?! It’s enough to register the company “Horns and Hooves AIRWAYS” and millions are already in our pocket!
The most interesting thing is that before the described case, AERO BLEU AIRWAYS already had a similar experience with a B747 of an American operator SKY LEASE CARGO leased through a broker who become one more victim. According to our information, this broker company now intends to sue AERO BLEU AIRWAYS demanding compensation of more than $3M. So, for Congressman Fernandez the fun is just beginning...

This is the most stupidest answer made by an airline I encountered in my life.
As an airline operator, it is your duty to apply permit to CAAP authorizing you to fly. It's like the business permit for airlines. And If you want to fly then you must have of all things, an airplane. Its like Certificate of Registration of your vehicle from the LTO. Yeah right, licensing. They have none since they never bother to register the plane (gov't regulations. Remember I told you about the reason why no "F", "N", or "EI" registries for PAL). So no license.
Up to this date, that aircraft (4L-GEG, B757-200F) is still registered with the Civil Aircraft Register of the Georgian Civil Aviation Agency. So the story of that post is true, as they are let from AFG Aviation Ireland Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aircraft Finance Germany GmbH (Germany) sometime September 2022.
Rest of that story is
hereSince granting an AOC makes you a domestic operator, you need to secure permit again from CAB to fly to Singapore or Japan as cargo operator because there is a separate regulations for that. Heard the "Air Services Agreement?" Yes. That thing. They are loosely called "franchise" that you see in Jeepneys and buses, or lets just say LOAs for PAL or CEB authorizing you to fly the route. In short, permit. This airline has neither both.
And the law does not care whether you are Senator or Congressman. Sen. Gatchalian family once owned GAP and they followed the same law. Why does this lawmaker from Bulacan thinks differently?
And yet, all smiles at the picture above.
