Decision No. 37-A-2015
An erratum was issued on February 13, 2015.
APPLICATION by Middle East Airlines Airliban S.A.L. pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10, as amended.
Middle East Airlines Airliban S.A.L. (MEA) has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for a temporary licence to operate, through code sharing, an international air service on a scheduled basis between Lebanon and Canada.
MEA is licensed to operate, through code sharing, an international air service on a scheduled basis between Lebanon and Canada.
Condition No. 2 of the licence states:
This licence shall terminate on February 15, 2015.
The authority requested by MEA is extra‑bilateral because there is no agreement or arrangement between Lebanon and Canada which provides for the operation by an air carrier of a scheduled international air service between Canada and Lebanon.
Prior to operating an international air service, MEA must, in addition to holding a licence, hold a valid Canadian aviation document and have the prescribed liability insurance coverage. The Agency is satisfied that MEA meets those requirements.
Concerning the duration of the subject authority, the Agency considers it appropriate to grant it until February 15, 2016.
Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the Canada Transportation Act, varies Condition No. 2 of the licence to read:
This licence shall terminate on February 15, 2016.
Any similar requests for a subsequent authority shall be submitted to the Agency for approval one month prior to the expiry of the licence.
