The Canadian Transportation Agency’s ruling ends a months-long investigation by the quasi-judicial body into Flair’s compliance with laws over foreign control of airlines
The Canadian transportation regulator will allow Flair Airlines to continue flying passengers after approving a list of changes the Edmonton-based carrier proposed to adhere to domestic laws and loosen the grip of its U.S. investor.
“The Agency finds, after considering all of the facts, that the changes implemented since the agency’s preliminary determination … have addressed the concerns raised by the agency,” the CTA said. “As Flair meets the incorporation and voting interest requirements and that Canadians control in fact Flair, Flair is Canadian.”
The CTA had given Flair 60 days to respond. Flair said it proposed a series of steps that would bring it in line with Canadian laws, including adding Canadians to its board of directors. The CTA is an independent body whose rulings have the weight of a court. Its decisions can be appealed with leave to the Federal Court of Appeal.
