Pursuant to subsection 5.9(2) of the Aeronautics Act, and after taking into account that the exemption is in the public interest and is not likely to affect aviation safety, I hereby exempt Helijet International Inc., 5911 Airport Road South, Richmond, BC, V7B 1B5 from the requirements of section 507.07 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR), subject to the conditions listed below.
