Determination No. A-2025-8

The Licensee has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for a temporary licence to operate an international air service on a scheduled basis, using large aircraft, between Canada and Honduras.

The Licensee is currently licensed to operate such a service until June 30, 2025.

The authority requested by the Licensee is extrabilateral because there is no agreement or arrangement between Canada and Honduras which provides for the operation by a Canadian air carrier of a scheduled international air service between Canada and Honduras.

Prior to operating an international air service, the Licensee 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 the Licensee meets those requirements.

The Agency considers it appropriate that the licence be valid until June 30, 2027. Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the CTA, varies Condition 2 of the licence to read as follows:

This licence shall terminate on June 30, 2027.

Any similar requests for a subsequent authority shall be submitted to the Agency for approval one month prior to the expiry of the licence.
