NOTICE of proposed transfer of the commercial air services authorized under Licence Nos. A.T.C. 1057/59(C) and A.T.C. 411/69(CF), from Slate Falls Airways Limited to Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc.

Docket No. 10753
Under Licence No. A.T.C. 1057/59(C), Slate Falls Airways Limited is authorized to operate a Class 4 Charter commercial air service using fixed wing aircraft in Groups A, B and C, from a base at Sioux Lookout, Ontario; and under Licence No. A.T.C. 411/69(CF), a Class 9-4 International Charter commercial air service using the same aircraft, from the same base.
Pursuant to section 22 of the Air Carrier Regulations, C.R.C. 1978, c. 3, notice has been given that Slate Falls Airways Limited proposes to transfer to Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc. the commercial air services set out in the title. The notice was received on November 26, 1987.
This notice was filed with the Air Transport Committee of the Canadian Transport Commission. However, the National Transportation Agency is now responsible for the disposition of all matters filed with the Commission.
Notice of the proposed transfer was published on December 16, 1987 and in January 1988 in the newspapers of the area concerned, and copies of the notice were sent to selected air carriers and to others believed to be interested. No objections to the proposed transfer were filed. Six letters of support were submitted with the notice. Pleadings closed on January 15, 1988.
The Agency has reviewed the notice and the material in support thereof and notes that there were no objections to the proposed transfer.
After consideration of the evidence before it, the Agency has determined that the proposed transfer will not unduly restrict competition or otherwise be prejudicial to the public interest. Accordingly, the transfer of the commercial air services authorized under Licence Nos. A.T.C. 1057/59(C) and A.T.C. 411/69(CF), from Slate Falls Airways Limited to Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc., is not disallowed subject to the condition that Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc. commences operating the services within a period of 180 days from the date of this Decision and to the condition that the services authorized under Licence Nos. A.T.C. 1057/59(C) and A.T.C. 411/69(CF) remain in the name of and continue to be operated by Slate Falls Airways Limited until licences have been issued to Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc.
Licences to operate Class 4 Charter domestic and Class 9-4 Charter non-scheduled international services from a base at Sioux Lookout, Ontario, will be issued to Slate Falls Airways (1987) Inc. upon compliance with the requirements of the Agency as applicable.
The Class 4 licence to be issued pursuant to this Decision shall, in addition to the conditions prescribed by the Air Transportation Regulations, SOR 88-58, be subject to the condition respecting route protection contained in the attachment, which is hereby made a part of this Decision, and to the following additional condition:
- The Licensee is authorized to use fixed wing aircraft in Groups A, B and C.
The Class 9-4 licence to be issued pursuant to this Decision shall, in addition to the conditions prescribed by the Air Transportation Regulations, SOR 88-58, be subject to the following conditions:
- The Licensee is authorized to use fixed wing aircraft in Groups A, B and C.
- Prior to conducting an international flight under this licence, the Licensee must obtain the required authorization from the appropriate authorities of the foreign government concerned.
Failure by either the transferor or the transferee to comply with the aforementioned conditions will result in the commencement of proceedings by the Agency with a view to disallowing the transfer.
