APPLICATION OF HARBOUR AIR LTD. d/b/a HARBOUR AIR SEAPLANES, WHISTLER AIR AND SALTSPRING AIR FOR A FOREIGN AIR CARRIER PERMIT AND AN EXEMPTION

Harbour Air Ltd. (“Harbour Air”), an air carrier of Canada, hereby applies, pursuant to

Part 211), Subparts B and C of the Department’s Rules of Practice in Proceedings (14 C.F.R. §§

302.201 and 302.301, et. seq.), and the Department’s streamlined licensing procedures,1 for a foreign air carrier permit and an exemption authorizing Harbour Air to engage in: (1) scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail from points behind Canada via Canada and intermediate points to a point or points in the United States and beyond; and (2) scheduled and charter foreign air transportation of property and mail between any point or points in the United States and any other point or points.

The Department previously authorized Tantalus Air Ltd., a Canadian air carrier, to hold

out and operate service under the names of Harbour Air and Harbour Air Seaplanes.2 Harbour

Air recently underwent a change of ownership. As described in Section 5 below, Harbour Air is now wholly owned and controlled by Canadian citizens. Following this change of ownership,

Harbour Air plans to operate to/from the United States under its own authority and thus is seeking DOT authority to do so. In conjunction with Harbour Air’s commencement of U.S. service, Tantalus Air will cease operations.

In support of its Application, Harbour Air submits the following information:

1. Harbour Air Ltd. is a corporation organized under the laws of Canada. Its principal place of business is 4760 Inglis Drive; Richmond, BC V7B 1W4, Canada.

2. The air transport authorities having regulatory jurisdiction over Harbour Air are

Transport Canada, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0N5 and the Canadian

Transportation Agency, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1A 0N9. Copies of Harbour Air’s Air

Operator Certificate issued by Transport Canada, scheduled and non-scheduled international service licenses issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency are attached as Exhibit A.

Harbour Air is authorized by Transport Canada to operate scheduled and charter domestic and international air transportation of passengers and cargo. The carrier’s Air Operator Certificate was reissued on December 19, 2019, for an indefinite duration.

3. Harbour Air requests expedited approval of this application in order to implement its plans to resume scheduled and charter service between Canada and the United

States. In June 2021, Harbour Air plans to introduce year-round scheduled foreign air

transportation of persons and property between Harbour Flight Centre (CYHC),

Vancouver, Canada, and two U.S. bases in the area: Kenmore

Seaplane Base, Seattle, Washington (W55) and Harbor Seaplane Base, Kenmore,

Washington (S60). No local traffic will be carried between W55 and S60. Harbour Air plans to

operate two daily non-stop roundtrip services between Vancouver Harbour and W55 and S60

from July until October and one daily non-stop roundtrip service from November until June of

each year. Harbour Air may initiate service on other U.S.-Canadian transborder routes in the

future.

4. Harbour Air has an experienced group of key management personnel overseeing

its operations and business. A list of the names, titles, addresses, and citizenship of Harbour

Air’s key management personnel is attached hereto as Exhibit B. All of the management

personnel listed in Exhibit B are citizens of Canada. (Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 302.12, Harbour

Air is requesting confidential treatment of the personal address information for those individuals listed in Exhibit B.)

scheduled services described herein.

8. A list of Harbour Air’s fleet of aircraft is attached hereto as Exhibit E.

Harbour Air currently owns a fleet of DHC2 Beaver aircraft and leases several DH3T de Havilland Canada Otter and DHC6 de Havilland Canada Twin Otter aircraft, which it will utilize for the services described herein.

9. Maintenance on Harbour Air's aircraft is provided by Harbour Air Aerospace

Services Ltd. at Vancouver International Airport. Harbour Air's maintenance procedures are regulated and approved by Transport Canada and in compliance with the International Civil

Aviation Organization’s (ICAO’s) Pilots and Airmen Annexes 1, 6 (Part 1) and 7. Canada is a contracting state to the Convention on International Civil Aviation.

10. Harbour Air has entered into an interline arrangement with Kenmore Air, a U.S. commuter air carrier based in Seattle, Washington. Harbour Air and Kenmore Air plan to sell seats on flights operated by the two carriers between Vancouver Harbour Flight Centre (CYHC),

Agreement between the Government of the United States and the Government of Canada. The

U.S.-Canada Open Skies Agreement grants broad rights for both U.S. and Canadian designated

air carriers. Harbour Air understands that the competent authorities of Canada would authorize

services similar to those requested herein for a U.S. air carrier under the Agreement, including

Fifth-Freedom traffic rights, for both scheduled and charter operations.

15. Harbour Air has not been involved in any fatal accidents or safety or tariff

violations in the past five years.

16. Harbour Air has executed the Warsaw Convention Liability Waiver (OST Form

4523) attached as Exhibit H.

The undersigned carriers (hereinafter referred to as “the Carriers”) hereby agree as follows: 1. Each of the Carriers shall, effective May 16, 1966, include the following in its conditions of carriage, including tariffs embodying conditions of carriage filed by it with any government: “The Carrier shall avail itself of the limitation of liability provided in the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Carriage by Air signed at Warsaw October 12th, 1929, or provided in the said Convention as amended by the Protocol signed at The Hague September 28th, 1955. However, in accordance with Article 22(1) of said Convention, or said Convention as amended by said Protocol, the Carrier agrees that, as to all international transportation by the Carrier as defined in the said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol, which, according to the contract of Carriage, includes a point in the United States of America as a point of origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place (1) The limit of liability for each passenger for death, wounding, or other bodily injury shall be the sum of US $75,000 inclusive of legal fees and costs, except that, in case of a claim brought in a State where provision is made for separate award of legal fees and costs, the limit shall be the sum of US $58,000 exclusive of legal fees and costs. (2) The Carrier shall not, with respect to any claim arising out of the death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger, avail itself of any defense under Article 20(1) of said Convention or said Convention as amended by said Protocol. Nothing herein shall be deemed to affect the rights and liabilities of the Carrier with regard to any claim brought by, on behalf of, or in respect of any person who has willfully caused damage which resulted in death, wounding, or other bodily injury of a passenger.” 2. Each Carrier shall, at the time of delivery of the ticket, furnish to each passenger whose transportation is governed by the Convention, or the Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol, and by the special contract described in paragraph 1, the following notice, which shall be printed in type at least as large as 10 point modern type and in ink contrasting with the stock on (i) each ticket; (ii) a piece of paper either placed in the ticket envelope with the ticket or attached to the ticket; or (iii) on the ticket envelope: “ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER ON LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Passengers on a journey involving an ultimate destination or a stop in a country other than the country of origin are advised that the provisions of a treaty known as the Warsaw Convention may be applicable to the entire journey, including any portion entirely within the country of origin or destination. For such passengers on a journey to, from, or with an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, the Convention and special contracts of carriage embodied in applicable tariffs provide that the liability of [certain ]* [(name of carrier) and certain other] carriers parties to such special contracts for death of or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to proven damages not to exceed US $75,000 per passenger, and that this liability up to such limit shall not depend on negligence on the part of the carrier. For such passengers traveling by a carrier not a party to such special contracts or on a journey not to, from, or having an agreed stopping place in the United States of America, liability of the carrier for death or personal injury to passengers is limited in most cases to approximately US $10,000 or US $20,000. The names of Carriers parties to such special contracts are available at all ticket offices of such carriers and may be examined on request. Additional protection can usually be obtained by purchasing insurance from a private company. Such insurance is not affected by any limitation of the carrier’s liability under the Warsaw Convention or such special contracts of carriage. For further information please consult your or insurance company representative.” 3. [This Agreement was filed with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the United States. The Board approved it by Order E-23680, adopted May 13, 1966. The Agreement (Agreement 18900) became effective May 16, 1966. On January 1, 1985, this Agreement became the responsibility of the Department of Transportation (DOT) by operation of law.] 4. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one Agreement. Any Carrier may become a party to this Agreement by signing a counterpart hereof and depositing it with DOT. 5. Any Carrier party hereto may withdraw from this Agreement by giving twelve (12) months’ written notice of withdrawal to DOT and the other Carriers parties to the Agreement.
