Application of

Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC.

for the reissuance of its certificate of public 

convenience and necessity

Docket DOT-OST-2013-0057

ORDER REISSUING CERTIFICATE

Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC (“Alaska Seaplane Service”), an operating air carrier, holds 

certificate authority to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation of persons, property, and 

mail.1

On March 6, 2013, Alaska Seaplane Service filed an application in Docket DOT-OST-2013-

0057 requesting reissuance of its certificate in the name Kalinin Aviation, LLC d/b/a Alaska 

Seaplanes. Alaska Seaplane Service states that it shares common ownership with another 

certificated air carrier, Air Excursions, LLC, and that the common owner of the two air carriers 

intends to establish a common business name under which each air carrier will operate.

2 Alaska 

Seaplane states that the change of its corporate name will not result in a change in operations, 

ownership, or management. 

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations provides that any air carrier wishing to change its name 

must first register that name with the Department. The rule further states that the Department 

may register such name after the air carrier gives notification to similarly named air carriers of 

the proposed use of the name. In this case, we identified no similarly named air carriers.

By this order, we reissue the certificate of public convenience and necessity held by Alaska 

Seaplane Service to reflect the change in corporate name and approved registration of the 

“Alaska Seaplane” trade name for use in its operations.

ACCORDINGLY, Pursuant to authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 

14 CFR 385.12:

1. We reissue the certificate issued to Alaska Seaplane Service, LLC, by Order 97-8-10, to 

reflect its new corporate name, Kalinin Aviation LLC d/b/a Alaska Seaplanes in the form and 

 

1 See Order 97-8-10, issued August 6, 1997.

2 Concurrently, Air Excursions, LLC has registered the business name “Alaska Seaplanes” as a business name for 

some of its scheduled services.
2

subjects to the terms, conditions, and limitations attached, authorizing it to engage in interstate 

scheduled air transportation of persons, property, and mail.

2. We authorize Kalinin Aviation LLC, to use “Alaska Seaplanes” as a trade name.

3. We will serve a copy of this order on the persons listed in Attachment A. 

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of this order under the Department’s 

Regulations, 14 CFR 385.30, may file their petitions within 10 days of this service date of this 

order. 

This action taken by this order is effective immediately and the filing of a petition for review 

shall not alter its effectiveness.

This authority is subject to the following provisions:

(1) The holder shall at all times conduct its operations in accordance with the regulations 

prescribed by the Department of Transportation for the services authorized by this certificate, and with 

such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations as the Department of Transportation may 

prescribe in the public interest.

(2) The holder may not operate aircraft designed to have a maximum passenger capacity of more

205. Failure to maintain such insurance coverage will render a certificate ineffective, and this or 

other failure to comply with the provisions of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States Code or the

transportation in accordance with the provisions of 14 CFR 212. 

(7) The holder may reduce or terminate service at any point or between any two points, subject to

determined that security is adequate to allow such airport(s) to be served.

Field), Texas, except within the limits set forth in section 29 of the International Air Transportation 

Competition Act of 1979, as amended or as modified by any future legislation addressing access 

restrictions to or from Love Field.

(9) Should the holder propose any substantial change in its ownership, management, or operations 

(as defined in 14 CFR 204.2(l)), it must first comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 204.5.

found “fit, willing and able,” its authority under this certificate shall be suspended under the terms of 

14 CFR 204.7 and the holder may neither recommence nor advertise such operations unless its fitness 

to do so has been redetermined by the Department. Moreover, if the holder does not resume
