Respondents NOTICE OF MOTION TAKE NOTICE THAT THE APPELLANT will make a motion in writing to the Court under Rule 369 of the Federal Courts Rules, S.O.R./98-106. THE MOTION IS FOR: 1. An Order pursuant to Rule 8, abridging the timelines for the filing of the responding motion record and the reply in the present motion; 2. An Order pursuant to ss. 44 and 50 of the Federal Courts Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. F-7, and Rule 373: (a) staying the decision of the Canadian Transportation Agency dated March 29, 2016 and bearing Decision No. 100-A-2016 pending disposition of the appeal; and (b) enjoining NewLeaf Travel Company Inc. from operating as an In- direct Air Service Provider [IASP or reseller], unless it posts a per- formance bond and/or security and/or guarantee in the amount of $3,744,000 for the claims of stranded passengers; 2 3. Costs and/or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of this motion in any event of the cause; and 4. Such further and other relief or directions as the Appellant may request and this Honourable Court deems just. THE GROUNDS FOR THE MOTION ARE: 1. On June 23, 2016, NewLeaf Travel Company Inc. [NewLeaf] began (again) selling tickets to the public for flights within Canada. 2. On July 25, 2016, NewLeaf will begin to transport passengers on 60 non-stop flight segments per week, for a total of up to 9,360 passengers per week. 3. NewLeaf has no license to operate any air service under the Canada Transportation Act [the CTA]. 4. NewLeaf is a shell company, without significant assets. It rents aircraft and crew from Flair Airlines Ltd. [Flair], a licensed airline, to transport passengers by air, but NewLeaf bears the full financial risk and liabil- ity to passengers, because Flair has no contractual relationship with NewLeaf’s passengers. Thus, Flair assumes no risk. 5. NewLeaf is a fledgling, financially unstable company that is unlikely to be able to deliver the services that it has sold or pay compensation to passengers whom it may strand as a result of non-performance. 3 6. The present motion, brought in the public interest, seeks to offer passen- gers who purchased tickets from NewLeaf a somewhat similar protection that was contemplated by Parliament in enacting s. 61(1)(iv) of the CTA. 7. The purpose of the motion is not to shut down NewLeaf, but to ensure that it is NewLeaf and its investors that bear the financial risk rather than the travelling public. In other words, the purpose of the motion is to ensure that NewLeaf puts its money where its mouth is. 8. The amount of financial guarantee of $3,744,000 sought from NewLeaf will allow compensating one week’s load of stranded passengers carried by NewLeaf from their homes to another destination, and is based on the following conservative calculation: (a) NewLeaf carrying 7,488 passengers per week (80% load factor); (b) one half (3,744) of these passengers are travelling from their homes to another destination; and (c) an average repatriation cost of $1,000 per stranded passenger in excess of the amounts paid to NewLeaf.

Of these insolvencies, some were of small airlines, but some were of larger scheduled airlines and caused significant issues for passengers (Air Madrid, SkyEurope and Sterling). Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian market This trend has significantly affected the Italian market, where over the last eight years, a number of domestic air carriers have experienced insolvencies: ¾Minerva Airlines ¾Gandalf Airlines ¾Alpi Eagles ¾Volare Airlines ¾Air Europe ¾Alitalia ¾Myair ¾Livingston An overall, since 2003 the Italian air transport market has witnessed one insolvency per year. Airline bankruptcy, focus on passenger rights Laura Pierallini The Italian Air Transport sector and the Italian bankruptcy legal framework. ¾A remedy like Chapter 11 in force in the US legal system does not exist in Italy, where since 1979 special bankruptcy procedures (Amministrazione Straordinaria) have been introduced to face the insolvency of large enterprises (Law.

  • Tenth Session of the Statistics Division
    STA/10-WP/6 International Civil Aviation Organization 2/10/09 WORKING PAPER TENTH SESSION OF THE STATISTICS DIVISION Montréal, 23 to 27 November 2009 Agenda Item 1: Civil aviation statistics — ICAO classification and definition REVIEW OF DEFINITIONS OF DOMESTIC AND CABOTAGE AIR SERVICES (Presented by the Secretariat) SUMMARY Currently, ICAO uses two different definitions to identify the traffic of domestic flight sectors of international flights; one used by the Statistics Programme, based on the nature of a flight stage, and the other, used for the economic studies on air transport, based on the origin and final destination of a flight (with one or more flight stages). Both definitions have their shortcomings and may affect traffic forecasts produced by ICAO for domestic operations. A similar situation arises with the current inclusion of cabotage services under international operations. After reviewing these issues, the Fourteenth Meeting of the Statistics Panel (STAP/14) agreed to recommend that no changes be made to the current definitions and instructions. Action by the division is in paragraph 5. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In its activities in the field of air transport economics and statistics, ICAO is currently using two different definitions to identify the domestic services of an air carrier. The first one used by the Statistics Programme has been reaffirmed and clarified during Ninth Meeting of the Statistics Division (STA/9) and it is the one currently shown in the Air Transport Reporting Forms. The second one is being used by the Secretariat in the studies on international airline operating economics which have been carried out since 1976 and in pursuance of Assembly Resolution A36-15, Appendix G (reproduced in Appendix A).

  • Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis
    Response to the KPMG Study: Pickering Lands Aviation Sector Analysis Land Over Landings April 18, 2020 (rev. April 26, 2020) © Land Over Landings, 2020 1 Contents Overview and General Observations / 3 Extracts and Detailed Comments on the Reports / 5 The Supply and Demand Report / 6 The Contextual Bridge Report / 27 The Airport Type and Role Report / 28 The Revenue Generation and Economic Impact Assessment Report / 47 End Note / 49 2 Overview and General Observations In 2016, Transport Canada tasked KPMG to forecast capacity and demand in the southern Ontario airport system for the 20-year period 2016 to 2036. Following completion of the supply and demand study, KPMG conducted an additional three studies, which took so long to produce that some details of the December 2016 forecast report are now significantly out of date, and the later, newer sections diverge from the first report in tone, intent, and perspective. Because of the disjointed structure (four separate reports purporting to be one) and the extended timeline, a lot of material is repeated – and even contradicted – in subsequent reports. Regardless, the essential conclusion is clear, and is expressed frequently and unequivocally in the Supply and Demand Report (December 2016) – in fact, it is repeated no fewer than eighteen times, not counting five times in the executive summary. No additional airport in southern Ontario will be needed to meet 2036 demand. The report shows that, with modest capacity expansions of some existing airports, southern Ontario airport capacity will not only meet forecasted demand but will exceed it by a huge margin. The report further states that adequate runway and terminal building capacity exists within the system as a whole, with the introduction of high-speed rail services in the region.

("Newleaf) is an attempt to circumvent the Canadian Transportation Agency ("CTA") financial fitness test, and the Canadian ownership and control requirements of the domestic licensing process. An airline is considerably more than the sum of its inanimate aircraft; it is rather the sum total of the human and financial capital required to promote, market and ultimately sell seat inventory and cargo capacity on the aircraft. Although Flair intends to physically operate the aircraft, it is Newleaf that is transforming those aircraft into an airline with the activities of controlling all marketing efforts, advertising, selling to the public, reservations systems, inventory management, payload control, route selection, determining if flights will actual be operated, scheduling and other key elements. As a result, without Newleaf there would be no air service offered to the public and the control of this air service lies with Newleaf.
