In its Order No. 2006-A-400 dated August 17, 2006, the Canadian Transportation Agency (hereinafter the Agency) exempted Georgian Express Ltd. carrying on business as Georgian Express Cargo (hereinafter the Licensee) from the application of paragraph 57(a) and section 59 of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10 (hereinafter the CTA) to allow the Licensee to offer for sale and operate a domestic service, all-cargo aircraft and a non-scheduled international service, all-cargo aircraft, without holding the required licence authorities, until October 2, 2006.

On September 27, 2006, the Licensee applied for an other exemption from the application of paragraph 57(a) and section 59 of the CTA.

The Agency notes that on August 16, 2006, the Licensee filed applications for licences to operate a domestic service, all-cargo aircraft and a non-scheduled international service, all-cargo aircraft.

The Agency has carefully reviewed and considered the matter and is of the opinion that, in the present circumstances, compliance by the Licensee with paragraph 57(a) and section 59 of the CTA is impractical.

Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to paragraph 80(1)(c) of the CTA, hereby exempts the Licensee from the application of paragraph 57(a) and section 59 of the CTA to allow the Licensee to offer for sale and operate a domestic service, all-cargo aircraft and a non-scheduled international service, all-cargo aircraft, without holding the required licence authorities, until November 2, 2006.
