File Nos. M4210/A1044-1

M4210/A1044-2


Air Majestic International Inc. carrying on business as Air Majestic (hereinafter the applicant) has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (hereinafter the Agency) for licences to operate the services set out in the title. The applications were received on July 13 and 31, 2006.

In order to obtain licences to operate a domestic service, a scheduled international service and a non-scheduled international service, the applicant must, inter alia, establish to the satisfaction of the Agency that it is Canadian, that it holds a Canadian aviation document, that it has the prescribed liability insurance in respect of the services to be provided under the licences, and that it meets the prescribed financial requirements as set out in paragraph 61(a) and subsections 69(1) and 73(1) of the Canada Transportation Act (hereinafter the CTA).

By letters dated July 19 and August 4, 2006, Agency staff advised the applicant that the applications were incomplete and outlined the missing information and documentation.

Pursuant to subsection 29(1) of the CTA, the Agency is required to make its decision no later than 120 days after the application is received unless the parties agree to an extension. In this case, the applicant has agreed to an extension of the deadline until March 10, 2007.

Agency staff has been unsuccessful in its numerous attempts to obtain the required information from the applicant in order to complete the processing of the applications.

The Agency has considered the material filed to date in support of the applications and notes that the applicant has not established to the satisfaction of the Agency that it is Canadian as that term is defined in subsection 55(1) of the CTA and has not met the prescribed financial requirements. Further, the Agency notes that the applicant does not hold a valid Canadian aviation document and does not have the prescribed liability insurance coverage. The Agency is therefore not satisfied that the applicant meets the requirements of paragraph 61(a) and subparagraphs 69(1)(a)(ii) to (iv) and paragraph 73(1)(a) of the CTA. Accordingly, the applications by Air Majestic International Inc. carrying on business as Air Majestic are hereby denied.
