The Canadian Transportation Agency has issued a preliminary determination that Flair Airlines may not be controlled in fact by Canadians and may, therefore, not be ''Canadian,'' as defined in the Canada Transportation Act.
Flair holds licenses authorizing domestic, scheduled international, and non-scheduled international air services. Pursuant to the Act, Flair must be Canadian to provide these air services.
Three requirements must be met for an air carrier to be considered Canadian:
-- The incorporation or formation requirement.
-- The voting interest requirement.
-- The control in fact requirement.
The CTA has provided Flair with the opportunity to respond, no later than 60 calendar days from date of issuance.
At the end of the review process, the CTA will issue a final public determination with reasons and its conclusions, which will be posted on its website.
