File Nos. M4205/R128-4-1
M4205/R128-4-2


WHEREAS under Licence No. 930200, Rotor Breeze Aviation Ltd. (hereinafter the Licensee) is authorized to operate a Class 4 Charter domestic service using fixed wing aircraft in Group A, from a base at Bonnyville, Alberta;

AND WHEREAS under Licence No. 930201, the Licensee is authorized to operate a Class 4 Charter domestic service using fixed wing aircraft in Group A, from a base at Elk Point, Alberta;

AND WHEREAS by registered letter dated November 24, 1995, Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201, inter alia, were suspended pursuant to subsection 75(1) of the National Transportation Act, 1987, R.S.C., 1985, c. 28 (3rd Supp.) (hereinafter the NTA, 1987), for failure by the Licensee to hold a valid operating certificate. The Licensee was required to show cause within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the letter why Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201 should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 75(1) of the NTA, 1987;

AND WHEREAS by letter dated December 1, 1995, the Licensee has requested the suspension of Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201;

AND WHEREAS the Agency has reviewed the matter and considers it appropriate to suspend Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

  1. Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201 are hereby suspended pursuant to subsection 75(2) of the NTA, 1987.
  2. To reinstate the suspended services, the Licensee is hereby required to file an application by no later than December 12, 1996. When the Agency is satisfied, based upon material on file or from information specifically requested from the Licensee, that the Licensee is Canadian, holds a Canadian aviation document (operating certificate) and has filed a valid certificate of insurance, the Agency shall reinstate the suspended licences.
  3. Alternatively, if no application is filed, the Licensee is required to show cause, by no later than December 12, 1996, why its licences should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 75(1) of the NTA, 1987, as failure to meet any of the above requirements would give reasonable grounds to the Agency to believe that, in respect of the services for which the licences are issued, the Licensee ceases to have the qualifications necessary for the issuance of the licences and/or has contravened section 98 of the NTA, 1987.

This Order shall form part of Licence Nos. 930200 and 930201 and shall remain affixed thereto as long as the said Order is in force.
