Must be a temporary shortage in aircraft from Flair, so Canadian North will take to the Mexican sky for a brief period.

Decision No. 347-A-2016

 
 
November 17, 2016
APPLICATION by Air Transat A.T. Inc. carrying on business as Air Transat (Air Transat), on behalf of itself and Travel Service, a.s. (Travel Service), pursuant to section 60 of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10, as amended (CTA), and section 8.2 of the Air Transportation Regulations, SOR/88-58, as amended (ATR).
Case Number: 
16-05364

APPLICATION

Air Transat, on behalf of itself and Travel Service, has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for an approval to permit Air Transat to provide its scheduled international services between Canada and each of the following countries: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and the United States of America, using one aircraft with flight crew provided by Travel Service, beginning on December 18, 2016 to April 30, 2017.

Air Transat is licensed to operate the relevant scheduled international services.

In its application filed on November 9, 2016, Air Transat states that it had 31 aircraft on its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) at the time of application.

POLICY

When assessing wet-lease applications where Canadian carriers propose to enter into wet-lease arrangements of more than 30 days with foreign carriers to provide international passenger services, the Agency must apply a direction issued by the Minister of Transport on June 24, 2014 entitled Ministerial Direction for International Service – Canada’s Policy for Wet-Leasing (2014 Wet-Lease Policy), and must specifically ensure that the 20-percent cap is respected at the time of application. The 2014 Wet-Lease Policy also states that the Agency should condition or deny an application if Canadian air carriers do not enjoy reciprocal opportunities to wet lease in the foreign jurisdiction of the lessor.

PRELIMINARY MATTER

In its guide Applying for Wet-Lease Approval, the Agency indicated that it “intends to notify the industry in Canada of an application for any wet-lease approval when it deems, at its own discretion, there to be potential issues with respect to reciprocity or other matters not yet addressed by the Agency.”

Upon review of the application, the Agency determined that it did not raise issues with respect to reciprocity or other matters not yet addressed by the Agency. Consequently, the Agency did not provide notice to seek comments from industry in respect of the application.

ISSUE

Is the Agency satisfied that the application of Air Transat meets the requirements of section 8.2 of the ATR and the criteria of the 2014 Wet-Lease Policy, specifically the 20‑percent cap?

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

Section 60 of the CTA requires that a licensee obtain, where prescribed, an approval from the Agency prior to using aircraft with flight crew provided by another person.

Section 8.2 of the ATR sets out the information to be included in an application and the requirements to be met for an approval pursuant to section 60 of the CTA.

Pursuant to the 2014 Wet-Lease Policy, for wet-leases of more than 30 days, a number of aircraft equal to 20 percent of the number of Canadian-registered aircraft on the lessee’s AOC may be wet leased from foreign lessors. The Agency notes that at the time of application, i.e., November 9, 2016, Air Transat had 31 aircraft on its AOC. Therefore, the application of Air Transat meets the 20-percent cap requirement of the 2014 Wet-Lease Policy.

Air Transat has also requested an exemption from the application of subsection 8.2(2) of the ATR, which requires the filing of an application for an approval at least 45 days before the first planned flight. The Agency finds that compliance with subsection 8.2(2) of the ATR is impractical in this case. Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to paragraph 80(1)(c) of the CTA, exempts Air Transat from the application of subsection 8.2(2) of the ATR.

The Agency has considered the application and the material in support and is satisfied that it meets the remaining requirements of section 8.2 of the ATR. The Agency is also satisfied that the application satisfies the criteria of the 2014 Wet-Lease Policy.

Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to paragraph 60(1)(b) of the CTA and section 8.2 of the ATR, approves the use by Air Transat of one aircraft with flight crew provided by Travel Service, and the provision by Travel Service of such aircraft and flight crew to Air Transat, to permit Air Transat to provide its scheduled international services on licensed routes between Canada and each of the following countries: Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and the United States of America, using one aircraft with flight crew provided by Travel Service, beginning on December 18, 2016 to April 30, 2017.

This approval is subject to the following conditions:

  1. Air Transat shall continue to hold the valid licence authority.
  2. Commercial control of the flights shall be maintained by Air Transat. Travel Service shall maintain operational control of the flights and shall receive payment based on the rental of aircraft and crew and not on the basis of the volume of traffic carried or other revenue-sharing formula.
  3. Air Transat and Travel Service shall continue to comply with the insurance requirements set out in subsections 8.2(4), 8.2(5) and 8.2(6) of the ATR.
  4. Air Transat shall continue to comply with the public disclosure requirements set out in section 8.5 of the ATR.
  5. Air Transat and Travel Service shall advise the Agency in advance of any changes to the information provided in support of the application
