The Licensee was provided with a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the Order to show cause why Licence No. 962530 should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 63(1) of the CTA.

In response to the Order, the Licensee has requested a suspension of its licence.

To reinstate the suspended licence, the Licensee is provided with a period of one year from the date of this Order to file an application to that effect. If, at that time, upon consideration of the application, the Agency determines that the Licensee meets the requirements of subparagraphs 61(a)(i) to (iii) of the CTA, which provide that the Licensee must be Canadian, must hold a Canadian aviation document and must have prescribed liability insurance coverage, the Agency shall lift the suspension.

Alternatively, one year from the date of this Order, if the application for reinstatement is not filed or the Licensee does not meet any of the requirements of subparagraphs 61(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) of the CTA, the Licensee is provided with an additional thirty (30) days to show cause why Licence No. 962530 should not be cancelled pursuant to subsection 63(1) of the CTA.
