Decision No. 217-A-2013

Air Canada also carrying on business as Air Canada rouge (Air Canada) has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) to vary Decision No. 250-A-2010 (Decision) to reflect that the code-share approval granted to Brussels Airlines N.V./S.A. carrying on business as Brussels Airlines (Brussels Airlines) also applies to Sky Regional Airlines Inc. carrying on business as Sky Regional and Air Canada Express (Sky Regional).

In that Decision, the Agency authorized, among others, the use by Brussels Airlines of aircraft and flight crew provided by Air Canada and Jazz Aviation LP, as represented by its general partner, Aviation General Partner Inc. carrying on business as Air Canada Jazz, Jazz and Jazz Air (Jazz Air) [At the time of issuance of the Decision, the carrier’s name was Jazz Air LP, as represented by its general partner, Jazz Air Holding GP Inc. carrying on business as Air Canada Jazz, Jazz and Jazz Air] and the provision by Air Canada and Jazz Air of such aircraft and flight crew to Brussels Airlines, to permit Brussels Airlines to provide its scheduled international service on licensed routes between Belgium and Canada, including flights between points in Canada, by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by Air Canada and Jazz Air.

Sky Regional is licensed to operate, among others, a domestic service, medium aircraft.

Air Canada advises that Sky Regional will begin operating flights within Canada and between Canada and the United States of America on behalf of Air Canada pursuant to the commercial agreement between Air Canada and Sky Regional.

The Agency has considered the application and the material in support and finds, pursuant to section 32 of the Canada Transportation Act (CTA), that there has been a change in the facts or circumstances pertaining to that Decision since it was issued and that it should be varied.

Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to section 32 of the CTA, varies the Decision as follows:

1. The code-share approval is replaced with the following:
   The Agency approves the use by Brussels Airlines of aircraft and flight crew provided by Air Canada, Jazz Air and Sky Regional, and the provision by Air Canada, Jazz Air and Sky Regional of such aircraft and flight crew to Brussels Airlines, to permit Brussels Airlines to provide its scheduled international service on licensed routes between Belgium and Canada by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by Air Canada between Belgium and Canada, and by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by Air Canada, Jazz Air and Sky Regional between points in Canada.
2. Condition No. 4 is amended by adding Sky Regional.
