Order 2014-7-21

Served: July 31, 2014

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation

on the 31st day of July, 2014

In the matter of the revocation of the certificate

authority issued to

 NORTH AMERICAN AIRLINES, INC.

pursuant to the provisions of 14 CFR 204.7

 Docket DOT-OST-2014-0123

ORDER REVOKING CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY

Summary 

By this order, we revoke the interstate certificate issued to North American Airlines, Inc.

(“NAA”), for reason of dormancy.

Background

NAA was found fit and issued effective interstate certificate authority in 1990.

1

 The air carrier 

subsequently requested and received foreign scheduled certificate and blanket route integration 

authority.

2

 NAA operated under its certificates until June 9, 2014, when it ceased all operations. 

On that same date, NAA confirmed it has ceased, that it had surrendered its Air Carrier 

Certificate to the Federal Aviation Administration, and that it has no plans to resume operations. 

NAA also requested that the Department either revoke or cancel its economic authority.

Section 204.7 of the Department’s Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 204.7) provides that, if an air 

carrier ceases air transportation operations for which it was found fit, it may neither resume air 

transportation operations nor advertise such services until its fitness to do so has been 

re-determined by the Department. Section 204.7 further provides that, if an air carrier does not 

have its fitness re-determined and resume operations within one year of the date of its cessation, 

its certificate authority will be revoked for dormancy. 

Under these circumstances, and in accordance with section 204.7 of our rules, we revoke NAA’s 

certificate authority. This action is without prejudice to the company’s filing for new certificate 

authority in the future.

 1 See Order 90-1-46, issued January 24, 1990. This authority was reissued by Order 98-7-6, issued July 8, 1998.

2 See Order 2000-8-19, issued June 21, 2000; Order 2001-12-8, issued October 10, 2001; and Order 2010-12-24 

issued October 18, 2010.
2

ACCORDINGLY, Pursuant to authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR 

385.12:

1. We revoke the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued to North American 

Airlines, Inc., by Order 90-1-46 authorizing it to engage in interstate air transportation of 

persons, property, and mail.3

2. 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 14 CFR 385.30, may 

file their petitions within 10 days of the service date of this order. 

This order shall become effective immediately and the filing of a petition for review shall not 

alter its effectiveness.
