Guest Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Determination No. A-2019-143 July 24, 2019 APPLICATION by WestJet, on behalf of itself and Sata Internacional - Azores Airlines, S.A. (Azores Airlines), 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: 19-04030 WestJet, on behalf of itself and Azores Airlines, has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for an approval to permit Azores Airlines to provide its scheduled international services between Canada and member states of the European Community by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by WestJet, including between points in Canada; between Canada and member states of the European Community; and between Canada and the United States, for a period of five years or such period as may be authorized by the Agency. WestJet 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 WestJet from the application of subsection 8.2(2) of the ATR. Azores Airlines is licensed to operate scheduled international services in accordance with the Agreement on Air Transport between Canada and the European Community and its Member States, signed on December 18, 2009. 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. Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to paragraph 60(1)(b) of the CTA and section 8.2 of the ATR, approves the use by Azores Airlines of aircraft with flight crew provided by WestJet, and the provision by WestJet of such aircraft and flight crew to Azores Airlines, to permit Azores Airlines to provide its scheduled international services on licensed routes between Canada and member states of the European Community by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by WestJet, including between points in Canada; between Canada and member states of the European Community; and between Canada and the United States, for an indefinite period from the date of this Determination. This approval is subject to the following conditions: Azores Airlines shall continue to hold the valid licence authority. Azores Airlines shall apply its published tariffs, in effect, to the carriage of its traffic. Nothing in any commercial agreement between the air carriers relating to limits of liability shall diminish the rights of passengers as stated in such tariffs. The air services approved shall only be provided as long as a code-sharing agreement providing for such services remains in effect. Azores Airlines and WestJet 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. Azores Airlines shall continue to comply with the public disclosure requirements set out in section 8.5 of the ATR. Azores Airlines and WestJet shall provide the Agency with a copy of any new agreement or amendments to their code-sharing agreement, including any new or amended annex, without delay. Air transportation using Azores Airlines' code on flights operated by WestJet, including between points in Canada; between Canada and member states of the European Community; and between Canada and the United States shall not be sold separately and shall only be available to traffic carried on a continuous journey between Canada and member states of the European Community.

Guest Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 A new route: Determination No. A-2019-153 August 15, 2019 APPLICATION by WestJet (applicant) pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the Canada Transportation Act, S.C., 1996, c. 10, as amended (CTA). Case number: 19-03595 The applicant has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for a temporary licence to operate international air services on a scheduled basis, using large aircraft, between Canada and Honduras. The authority requested by the applicant is extra-bilateral because there is no agreement or arrangement between Canada and Honduras in force, which provides for the operation by a Canadian air carrier of scheduled international air services between Canada and Honduras. Pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the CTA, the Agency may issue a licence, on a temporary basis, for international air services that are not permitted in an agreement, a convention or an arrangement relating to civil aviation to which Canada is a party. The Minister of Transport has designated the applicant as eligible to operate the applied for service. Prior to operating an international air service, the applicant must, in addition to holding a licence, hold a valid Canadian aviation document and have the prescribed liability insurance coverage. The Agency has considered the material on file and is satisfied that the applicant meets those requirements. Accordingly, the Agency, pursuant to subsection 78(2) of the CTA, will issue to the applicant a temporary licence to operate, international air services on scheduled basis, using large aircraft, between Canada and Honduras. Concerning the duration of the subject authority, the Agency considers it appropriate to grant it until June 30, 2020. The licence to be issued pursuant to this Decision shall be subject to the conditions prescribed by the Air Transportation Regulations, SOR/88-58, as amended, and to the following conditions: The Licensee is authorized to operate international air services on a scheduled basis, using large aircraft, between Canada and Honduras. This licence shall terminate on June 30, 2020. Any similar requests for a subsequent authority shall be submitted to the Agency for approval one month prior to the expiry of the licence.
