Commandair Inc. (hereinafter the Licensee) has applied to the National Transportation Agency for the suspension set out in the title. The application was received on November 13, 1992.

Under Licence No. 880372, the Licensee is authorized to operate a domestic service.

Under Licence No. 880373, the Licensee is authorized to operate a Class 3 Specific Point domestic service using fixed wing aircraft in Group B, serving the points Bonaventure, Gaspé, Port Menier, Havre aux Maisons and Sept-Îles, Quebec; Charlo, New-Brunswick; and Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

Under Licence No. 883575, the Licensee is authorized to operate a Class 4 Charter domestic service using fixed wing aircraft in Groups A and B, from a base at Bonaventure, Quebec.

Under Licence No. 883576, the Licensee is authorized to operate a Class 4 Charter domestic service using fixed wing aircraft in Group A, from a base at Nabissipi River, Duplessis County, Quebec. The Licensee is restricted to serving the transportation requirements of the bona fide guests, employees and workmen (including luggage, material and supplies) of Pourvoirie R. Geoffroy, Inc. The Licensee is restricted in its operations to the period between May 1 and November 1 of each year.

Under Licence No. 883577, the Licensee is authorized to operate a Class 9-4 Charter non-scheduled international service using fixed wing aircraft in Groups A and B.

The Agency has reviewed the application and considers it appropriate to suspend Licence Nos. 880372, 880373, 883575, 883576 and 883577.

Licence Nos. 880372, 880373, 883575 and 883576 are hereby suspended pursuant to subsection 75(2) of the National Transportation Act, 1987, R.S.C., 1985, c. 28 (3rd Supp.) (hereinafter the NTA, 1987) and Licence No. 883577 is hereby suspended pursuant to subsection 97(2) of the NTA, 1987.

To reinstate the suspended services, the Licensee is hereby required to file an application by no later than November 30, 1993. When the Agency is satisfied, based upon material on file or from information specifically requested from the Licensee, that the Licensee is Canadian, holds a Canadian aviation document (operating certificate) and has filed a valid certificate of insurance, the Agency shall reinstate the suspended licences.

With respect to the request to suspend the licences for a period of six months, the Licensee may file an application whenever it is willing and able to reinstate the services.

Alternatively, if no application is filed, the Licensee is required to show cause, by no later than November 30, 1993, why its licences should not be cancelled pursuant to subsections 75(1) and 97(1), as applicable, of the NTA, 1987, as failure to meet any of the above requirements would give reasonable grounds to the Agency to believe that, in respect of the services for which the licences are issued, the Licensee ceases to have the qualifications necessary for the issuance of the licences and/or has contravened section 98 of the NTA, 1987.

This Decision shall form part of Licence Nos. 880372, 880373, 883575, 883576 and 883577 and shall remain affixed thereto as long as the said Decision is in force.
