OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

WASHINGTON, D.C.

Issued by the Department of Transportation

on the 12th day of February, 2010

Application of

ARCTIC TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, INC.

for the reissuance of its certificate of public 

convenience and necessity

Docket DOT-OST-1997-2155

ORDER REISSUING CERTIFICATE

Arctic Transportation Services, Inc. (“Arctic”), holds certificate authority to engage in interstate 

scheduled air transportation of persons, property, and mail.1 

On December 2, 2009, Arctic filed an application in Docket DOT-OST-1997-2155 stating it 

planned to change its corporate name to “Ryan Air, Inc.” Arctic sought registration of the name 

change and requested reissuance of its certificate in the new name. Arctic states that this is a 

change in corporate name only and does not constitute a change in operations or ownership. The 

air carrier also states that the change to the new corporate name was accomplished on October 

21, 2009, by an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations provides that any air 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 air carrier gives notification to similarly named air carriers of 

the proposed use of the name. In this case, Arctic notified Ryan Air International, Inc., and Ryan 

Air, Ltd., of its intent to register the corporate name “Ryan Air, Inc.”

Since Arctic has complied with the requirements of Part 215, we approve its application and 

reissue Arctic’s interstate scheduled certificate to reflect the change in corporate name to “Ryan 

Air, Inc.”

ACCORDINGLY, Pursuant to authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 

14 CFR 385.12:

1. We reissue the certificate issued to Arctic Transportation Services, Inc., by Order 97-5-1, to 

reflect its new corporate name, Ryan Air, Inc., in the form and subject to the terms, conditions,

 

1 By Order 82-11-11, issued November 4, 1982, Ryan Air Service, Inc., received authority from the Civil 

Aeronautics Board to perform interstate scheduled air transportation as a certificated air carrier. The air carrier’s 

certificate was reissued by Order 97-5-1 on May 2, 1997, to reflect a name change from Ryan Air Service, Inc. d/b/a 

Arctic Transportation Services to Arctic Transportation Services, Inc.
2

and limitations attached, authorizing it to engage in interstate scheduled air transportation of

persons, property, and mail.

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 this service date of this 

order. 

This action taken by this order is effective immediately and the filing of a petition for review 

shall not alter its effectiveness.

Terms, Conditions, and Limitations

RYAN AIR, INC.

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 

operations are also authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and 

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

limited to 49 CFR Part 1544.



(3) The holder shall at all times remain a "Citizen of the United States" as required 

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 change in its ownership, management, 

or operations (as 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.
