Determination No. A-2018-54

March 21, 2018

APPLICATION by 9736140 Canada Inc. carrying on business as Pascan (Pascan), on behalf of itself and Chrono Jet inc. (Chrono Jet), 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: 
18-00356

Pascan, on behalf of itself and Chrono Jet, has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for an approval to permit Pascan to provide its domestic service using one aircraft with flight crew provided by Chrono Jet, beginning on March 20, 2018.

Pascan 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 Pascan from the application of subsection 8.2(2) of the ATR.

Pascan is licensed to operate a domestic service, small aircraft.

The Dash 8 Series 100 aircraft to be provided by Chrono Jet is considered a "small aircraft" in its Aircraft Operating Manual, which is approved by Transport Canada.

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 Pascan of one aircraft with flight crew provided by Chrono Jet, and the provision by Chrono Jet of such aircraft and flight crew to Pascan, to permit Pascan to provide its domestic service using one aircraft and flight crew provided by Chrono Jet, beginning on March 20, 2018 for an indefinite period.

This approval is subject to the following conditions:

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