By Order No. 2002-A-329 dated August 14, 2002, Licence No. 967264 was suspended pursuant to paragraph 75(1)(b) of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10 (hereinafter the CTA), for failure by the Licensee to hold a valid Canadian aviation document. The Licensee was provided with a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the Order to show cause why Licence No. 967264 should not be cancelled pursuant to paragraph 75(1)(b) of the CTA.

To date, the Licensee has failed to either file the required Canadian aviation document or to show cause why its licence should not be cancelled.

The Canadian Transportation Agency (hereinafter the Agency) has determined that, in respect of the service for which the licence was issued, the Licensee does not meet the requirement of subparagraph 73(1)(a)(ii) of the CTA.

Pursuant to paragraph 75(1)(b) of the CTA, the Agency must suspend or cancel a non-scheduled international licence where the Agency has made such a determination.

The Agency has considered the matter and, pursuant to paragraph 75(1)(b) of the CTA, and in accordance with the Air Transport Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America signed on February 24, 1995, hereby cancels Licence No. 967264.
