Order 2010-11-21

Served: November 18, 2010

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY 

WASHINGTON, D.C. 

Issued by the Department of Transportation 

on the 18th day of November, 2010 

In the matter of the revocation of the interstate certificate 

issued to 

PACE AIRLINES, INC. 

 d/b/a ALLSTAR AIRLINES

in accordance with section 204.7 of the Department’s 

Regulations 

Docket DOT-OST-2002-11335

ORDER REVOKING INTERSTATE CERTIFICATE 

Summary

By this order, we revoke the interstate charter air transportation certificate issued to

PACE Airlines, Inc. d/b/a Allstar Airlines (“PACE”), for reason of dormancy. 

Background 

By Order 2002-1-17, issued January 31, 2002, the Department issued PACE effective certificates 

of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to engage in interstate and foreign charter air 

transportation of persons, property and mail. PACE operated under its authority until September 

16, 2009, at which time it ceased operations. 

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 has been redetermined by 

the Department. Section 204.7 further provides that, if an air carrier does not have its fitness 

redetermined and resume operations within one year of the date of its cessation, its certificate 

authority will be revoked for dormancy. 

By letter dated September 16, 2009, the Department informed PACE that, pursuant to section 

204.7, its authority was suspended and the air carrier could not resume air transportation 

operations until the Department had redetermined it fitness to do so. In that letter, we further 

stated that if PACE did not resume operations within one year of its cessation, that is by 

September 16, 2010, the company’s authority would be revoked for dormancy. PACE has not 

indicated its desire to resume operations.
2

Under these circumstances, and in accordance with section 204.7 of our rules, we revoke the 

interstate charter air transportation certificate issued to PACE by Order 2002-1-17.

1

 

ACCORDINGLY, Acting under authority assigned by the Department in its Regulations, 

14 CFR 385.12: 

1. We revoke the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by Order 2002-1-17 to 

PACE Airlines, Inc. d/b/a Allstar Airlines, authorizing it to conduct interstate charter air 

transportation of persons, property and mail.

2

 

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 the Department’s 

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

order. 

The action taken in this order shall be effective immediately and the filing of a petition for 

review shall not alter its effectiveness.

1 Our action here is without prejudice to the company’s filing for new certificate authority in the future. 

2 By this order, we revoke only PACE’s interstate certificate. Revocation of PACE’s foreign air 

transportation certificate is subject to Presidential review under 49 U.S.C. § 41307 and will be handled in 

a separate order.
