("CanJet"), hereby applies, pursuant to 49 U.S.c. § 40109 and Subpart C of the Procedural 

Regulations ofthe Department of Transportation (the "Department" or "DOT"), for renewal 

of its temporary exemption from 49 U.S.C § 41302 authorizing CanJet to perform

point or points in Canada and any point or points in the United States pursuant to the March 

12,2007 Bilateral Air Transport Services Agreement between Canada and the United 

States, as amended (the "2007 Agreement"), as most recently granted by Notice of Action 

Taken issued on April 10,2008, through April 10,2010.

CanJet Airlines Exemption 

Canada-U.S. Exemption Authority 

CanJet requests that the foregoing exemption authority be granted for a period of two 

years, through April 10,2012, or until 90 days after final action by the Department on a 

forthcoming application by CanJet for a Foreign Air Carrier Permit pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

§ 41302 authorizing the same broad-scope trans border operations, whichever occurs first. 

In accordance with Section 302.303 and Section 211.20 of the Department's 

Regulations, CanJet submits the following information in support of this renewal 

application: 

1. Existing Authority and Operations. CanJet is a Canadian air carrier based in 

Halifax, Nova Scotia, and currently holds Canadian and U.S. economic and operating 

authority to provide scheduled and charter air transportation within Canada, and between 

any point or points in Canada and any point or points in the United States. CanJet's current 

Canada-U.S. transborder service is operated utilizing a permanent fleet of five (5) Stage 3-

compliant Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The current transborder service operated by CanJet 

consists of nonstop roundtrip ad hoc charter flights between Halifax and other points in 

eastern Canada, on the one hand, and various points in Florida, on the other hand. 

In addition to its U. S. DOT exemption authority at issue, CanJet holds a Part 129 

Foreign Air Carrier Certificate and Operations Specifications issued to it by the U. S. 

Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA"). CanJet holds Canadian Transportation 

Agency License No. 965016, dated November 4,2002 and Air Operator Certificate No. 

10305 issued by Transport Canada on October 29,2002, which authorize CanJet to operate 
3-

CanJet Airlines Exemption 

Canada-U.S. Exemption Authority 

scheduled and charter international air service between all points in Canada and all points in 

the United States. 

2. Automatic Extension. CanJet hereby invokes and relies upon the provisions 

of Section 558(c) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. §558(c), as implemented 

by Part 377 of the Department's Special Regulations (14 C.F.R. §377), to continue in effect 

its exemption to provide scheduled and charter foreign air transportation between Canada 

and the United States until the Department makes a final determination of this Application. 

In accordance with Section 377.10(c)(3), this renewal application is being filed prior to the 

expiration date of the temporary authority at issue. 

3. Ownership, Citizenship and Fitness. Subsequent to the filing of Can Jet's 

initial exemption application on November 12,2002, there has been no material change in 

the ownership, board of directors, executive management and key operations management 

personnel of Can Jet, all of whom are citizens of Canada. During that same period, there 

has been no material adverse change in CanJet's financial fitness, compliance disposition 

or safety record. 

4. Applicable Bilateral Agreement. As the Department has previously 

determined (Notice of Action Taken, issued on April 10,2008), the exemption authority at 

issue is consistent with the March 2007 Bilateral Air Transport Services Agreement 

between Canada and the United States, as amended.

5. Fitness and Public Interest. CanJet submits that the renewal of its existing 

exemption authority is consistent with the public interest and Department precedent. CanJet 

has been found by the Department to be fit, willing and able to perform the air 

transportation applied for herein and to conform to the provisions of the Federal Aviation 

Statutes and the rules, regulations and requirements of the Department thereunder. For the 

reasons stated above, the foreign air transportation which CanJet proposes to render is 

presumptively consistent with the public convenience and necessity. 

6. Incremental Energy Consumption. Grant of Can Jet's application for renewal 

of its existing trans border exemption authority will not result in any material change in 

CanJet's current energy consumption requirements. Accordingly, grant of this application 

will not constitute a major regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

of 1975. 

7. Duration of Renewal. CanJet requests that the exemption authority at issue be 

renewed for a two-year period, through April 10,2012, or until 90 days after final action on 

a future application by CanJet for a Foreign Air Carrier Permit granting the same and other 

authority. Grant of a two-year extension is consistent with the policy and practice of the 

Department in renewing temporary authorizations in open-entry markets.

WHEREFORE, CanJet respectfully requests the Department to issue an Order or 

Notice of Action Taken renewing CanJet's existing exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41301 for a 

period of two years, through April 10,2012, or until 90 days after final action by the 

Department on a future application by CanJet for a Foreign Air Carrier Permit authorizing 

the same operations, whichever occurs first.
