EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 602.152 OF THE CANADIAN AVIATION REGULATIONS

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 Ukrainian Cargo Airways, 19-21 Frunze Street, Kyiv, P.O. 254080, Ukraine from the requirements set out in section 602.152 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations subject to the following conditions.

Purpose

The purpose of this exemption is to allow Ukrainian Cargo Airways, 19-21 Frunze Street, Kyiv, P.O. 254080, Ukraine to conduct multiple landings and takeoffs at Trenton (CYTR) and Fredericton (CYFC) using a Chapter 2 aeroplane to transport equipment and personnel of the Department of National Defence to Port-au-Prince, Haiti for military operations in support of Operation Halo.

  1. April 30, 2004; 23:59 EDT;
  2. The date on which any condition specified in the exemption is breached; or
  3. The date on which the exemption is canceled in writing by the Minister, where he is of the opinion that it is no longer in the public interest or it is likely to affect aviation safety.

CANCELLATION

The exemption from section 602.152 of the CARs issued to Ukrainian Cargo Airways on March 22, 2004, at Ottawa, by the Director General, Civil Aviation, on behalf of the Minister of Transport, is hereby canceled because it is the opinion of the Minister that it is no longer in the public interest or is likely to affect aviation safety as Transport Canada has been notified by the Department of National Defense that more flights will be required and that the aircraft specified in this exemption requires maintenance and must return to the Ukraine.

Dated at Ottawa, on the 30th day of March 2004, on behalf of the Minister of Transport.
