                Action date:  May 21, 2004

Effective dates of authority granted:  May 21, 2004, through May 21,

Basis for approval:  United States-Canada Air Transport Agreement
(Agreement).

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the

conditions.

Special conditions/Remarks:  We found that the applicant is
operationally and financially qualified to conduct its proposed
operations and is substantially owned and effectively controlled by
citizens of its homeland.  Also, the FAA advised us that it knows of no
reason to withhold this authority.

In the conduct of the operations the carrier must adhere to all
applicable provisions of the U.S.-Canada Agreement, and may only use
aircraft designed to have a maximum passenger capacity of not more than
60 seats and a maximum payload capacity of not more than 18,000 pounds. 
Moreover, under this authority the carrier may conduct passenger charter
operations between Canada and the United States.  Other passenger
charters to be conducted under this authority, however, are subject to
prior approval under 14 CFR Part 212.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) the applicant was qualified to perform its proposed
operations; (3) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (4) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975. 
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.
