Application of 2106701 Ontario Inc. DBA NovaJet

FOR FOREIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT AND EXEMPTION AUTHORITY

2106701 Ontario Inc. DBA NovaJet, a Canadian Charter Operator, hereby applies for an

of the Department’s Rules of Practice in Proceedings (14 CFR Part 302.201 and 302.301 et seq.),

Part 211 of the Department’s Economic Regulations (14 CFR Part 211), and the Department’s

as a dispute resolution authority over certain transportation rate and service

complaints. The Departments vision statement is to have a transportation system in

Canada that is recognized worldwide as safe and secure, efficient and environmentally

responsible.  Transport Canada’s mission is to serve the public interest through the
