ERRATUM*

NOTICE OF REGISTRATION OF TRADE NAME

On March 6, 2013, Air Excursions, LLC (“Air Excursions”), a U.S. certificated air carrier,

1

requested that the Department register the trade name “Alaska Seaplanes” for use in certain of its

air transportation operations. 

Air Excursions operates a fleet of land and seaplanes in scheduled and charter service primarily

in Southeastern Alaska. The applicant states that it shares common ownership with Kalinin 

Aviation, LLC d/b/a Alaska Seaplanes (“Kalinin”), who is also a certificated air carrier and that 

upon registration of the Alaska Seaplanes trade name both Air Excursions and Kalinin intend to 

operate common branded flights. Air Excursions notes that it will make all required disclosures 

of the identity of the operating air carrier in accordance with the provisions of Part 257 of the 

Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 257). In addition, Air Excursions states that aircraft 

operated under the Alaska Seaplanes trade name will clearly identify the name of the operating

air carrier.

Part 215 of the Department’s regulations (14 CFR Part 215) provides that any air carrier wishing 

to use an alternative trade 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. Air Excursion notes that, other 

than Kalinin, it is unaware of any similarly named air carriers. Moreover, our review has 

revealed no additional similarly named air carriers. 

 

*This erratum is issued to correct an error in a trade name of Air Excursions, Inc., which was 

inadvertently referenced as “Air Excursion, Inc.” instead of “Air Excursions, LLC.”

1 See Order 2009-12-4, issued December 7, 2009.
2

Under these circumstances, we acknowledge the registration of the trade name “Alaska 

Seaplanes” by Air Excursions for immediate use in their operations.
