Application of

ALASKA JUNEAU AERONAUTICS, INC.

d/b/a WINGS OF ALASKA

d/b/a SEAPORT AIRLINES

for reissuance of its certificate of public convenience 

and necessity under 49 U.S.C. § 41102

Docket DOT-OST-2010-0278

ORDER REISSUING CERTIFICATE

Alaska Juneau Aeronautics, Inc. d/b/a Wings of Alaska d/b/a SeaPort Airlines (“AJA”) holds a 

certificate to engage in interstate air transportation of persons, property, and mail.1

On November 8, 2010, AJA filed an application in Docket DOT-OST-2010-0278 requesting the 

Department reissue its certificate in the corporate name of “SeaPort Airlines, Inc.” AJA states 

that this is a change in corporate name only and does not constitute a change in operations, 

substantial or otherwise. The change in the corporate name was accomplished on October 4, 

2010, by an amendment to AJA’s Articles of Incorporation. In support of its application, AJA 

states that for the past several years its operations in the lower 48 states have been provided 

under the “SeaPort Airlines” trade name, and the air carrier would like to harmonize its corporate 

name with the name in which its services are provided.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations provides that any carrier wishing to change its name 

must first register that name with the Department. The rule further states that the Department

may register such name after the carrier gives notification to similarly named carriers of the 

proposed use of the name. In this case, there are no similarly named air carriers.

By this order, we reissue the certificate held by AJA to reflect the new corporate name SeaPort 

Airlines, Inc.

Terms, Conditions, and Limitations

SeaPort Airlines, Inc.

d/b/a Wings of Alaska

is authorized to engage in interstate air transportation of persons, property, and mail 

between any point in any State, territory, or possession of the United States or the 

District of Columbia, and any other point in any of those entities.

This authority is subject to the following provisions:

(1) The holder shall at all times conduct its operations in accordance with the 

regulations prescribed by the Department of Transportation for the services authorized 

by this certificate, and with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and limitations as 

the Department of Transportation may prescribe in the public interest.

(2) The holder's authority under this certificate is effective only to the extent that such

comply with all U.S. Government requirements concerning security, including, but not 

limited to 49 CFR Part 1544.



by 49 U.S.C. 40102(a)(15).

(4) The holder shall maintain in effect liability insurance coverage as required under 

14 CFR Part 205. Failure to maintain such insurance coverage will render a certificate 

ineffective, and this or other failure to comply with the provisions of Subtitle VII of Title 

49 of the United States Code or the Department's regulations shall be sufficient grounds 

to revoke this certificate.

(5) The holder is authorized to conduct charter flights in interstate and/or foreign air 

transportation in accordance with the provisions of 14 CFR 212.

This certificate is being reissued to reflect the change in the holder’s corporate name from



To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning security, 

the holder shall, before commencing any new service (including charter flights) to or from a 

foreign airport, contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of its plans and to 

find out whether the Transportation Security Administration has determined that security is 

adequate to allow such airport(s) to be served.

(6) The holder may reduce or terminate service at any point or between any two 

points, subject to compliance with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 41734 and all orders and 

regulations issued by the Department of Transportation under that section.

(7) The holder may not provide scheduled passenger air transportation to or from 

Dallas (Love Field), Texas, except within the limits set forth in section 29 of the 

International Air Transportation Competition Act of 1979, as amended or as modified by 

any future legislation addressing access restrictions to or from Love Field.

(8) Should the holder propose any substantial changes in its ownership, management, 

or operations (as that term is defined in 14 CFR 204.2(l)), it must first comply with the 

requirements of 14 CFR 204.5.

(9) In the event that the holder commences but subsequently ceases all operations for 

which it was found “fit, willing and able,” its authority under this certificate shall be 

suspended under the terms of 14 CFR 204.7 and the holder may neither recommence nor 

advertise such operations unless its fitness to do so has been redetermined by the 

Department. Moreover, if the holder does not resume operations within one year of its 

cessation, its authority shall be revoked for dormancy.
