Decision No. 274-A-2012

Eva Airways Corporation (Eva Airways) has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for extra-bilateral authority to permit it to serve Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to pick up cargo bound for Taipei on eight of its scheduled international all-cargo flights from Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, United States of America to Taipei, during the period beginning July 23 and ending August 20, 2012.

Eva Airways is licensed to operate a scheduled international service in a manner consistent with the Supplementary Confidential Memorandum on Air Services between the Canadian Trade Office in Taipei and the Civil Aeronautics Administration of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in Taipei signed on February 25, 1999, as amended (CMOU).

The Agency may, pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the Canada Transportation Act (CTA), vary the terms and conditions of a licence on a temporary basis for international air services which are not permitted in an arrangement.

The Agency has considered the application and the material in support and finds that it is appropriate to grant this authority.

Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the CTA, varies Condition No. 1 of Eva Airways’ licence to the extent necessary to permit it to serve Vancouver to pick up cargo bound for Taipei on eight of its scheduled international all‑cargo flights from Dallas/Fort Worth to Taipei, during the period beginning July 23 and ending August 20, 2012.

In all other respects, the service shall be operated in accordance with the CMOU.
