OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation

on the 22nd day of February, 2011

In the matter of the cancellation of the interstate charter 

certificate issued to

 VICTORY AIR TRANSPORT, INC.

Pursuant to the provisions of 14 CFR § 204.7

DOCKET DOT-OST-2002-14027 

ORDER CANCELING CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY

Summary

By this order, we cancel the certificate authority issued to Victory Air Transport, Inc. 

(“Victory”), authorizing it to engage in interstate charter air transportation of persons, property,

and mail, for reason of dormancy.

Background

By Order 2003-7-25, served July 23, 2003, the Department found Victory fit to engage in 

interstate charter air transportation of persons, property, and mail as a U.S. certificated air 

carrier. By Order 2003-9-16, issued September 23, 2003, Victory was issued a companion 

certificate to engage in foreign passenger charter air transportation.

On February 8, 2011, Victory advised the Department by letter that it was voluntarily 

surrendering its certificates of public convenience and necessity for interstate and foreign charter 

air transportation and was also taking the necessary steps to voluntarily surrender its Part 135 

Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) operating certificate.

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

carrier ceases conducting 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 

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.

Victory advised the Department that the air carrier did not intend to resume charter operations. 

Under these circumstances we find it appropriate to cancel the interstate certificate issued to

Victory.
