ALLCANADA Express Incorporated d/b/a AllCanada Express

ALLCANADA requests exemption authority to engage in the charter air transportation of property and mail between any point or points in Canada and any point or points in the United States.  Initial points intended to be served in the United States are various cargo hubs such as Louisville, Toledo and/or Dayton.  Service will be property-carrying charter flights on a nightly basis, Monday through Friday, operated with B-727 aircraft in freighter configuration.  Service will be nonstop from a point in Canada to a point in the United States.

ALLCANADA currently leases and operates one B-727 aircraft, C­FACX, MSN 19500, registered in Canada. The Company intends to acquire up to five additional aircraft from the assets of Old Corp upon receiving all regulatory authorities. All aircraft will be used exclusively by ALLCANADA. None of the aircraft are, or will be, wet leased.

We are the proposed Trustee in Bankruptcy of All Canada Express Limited. Involuntary bankruptcy proceedings were commenced against All Canada in December 2002 on the grounds that All Canada had ceased paying its liabilities as they became due From the information available to us, it seems clear that All Canada is not able to pay, and has not been paying, its obligations generally as they become due. The Ontario Supreme Court of Justice in Bankruptcy has scheduled a hearing for next month to determine whether All Canada should be placed in bankruptcy.

AllCanada Express Inc. d/b/a AllCanada Expresss

The transaction referenced in the motion by Incorporated to the Department of Transportation to withhold information is not part of a corporate restructuring. It may simply be an attempt to transfer assets from Limited on the eve of its bankruptcy without the knowledge or consent of its creditors. There is no process currently in place or contemplated by which the creditors of Limited are being asked to provide their consent to this transaction and, consequently, the transaction appears to be improper and ineffective as a matter of Canadian bankruptcy law.

Counsel: Zwaig Associations, Melvin Zwaig

AllCanada Express Inc/ d/b/a AllCanada Express

Contrary to the erroneous assumptions contained in the Comment filed by Zwaig, the sale transaction was not by ACE Limited to ACE Inc., but by a duly appointed Receiver acting on behalf of First Treasury. While the bankruptcy hearing for ACE Limited remains scheduled for April 14, 2003, this fact should have no effect on the Department's issuance of ACE Inc.'s economic authority or fitness determination. ACE Inc. has the prerequisite assets and resources necessary to conduct the operations as requested in its Application for Exemption.

ACE Inc. plans on carrying on the business previously conducted by ACE Limited, but cannot operate between point(s) in Canada and point(s) in the United States without the U.S. economic authority requested on February 25, 2003, and the appropriate operating authority from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Counsel: Meyers Alterman, Stephen Alterman, 202-293-1030

Hereby withdraws its motion to withhold information from public disclosure filed on March 25, 2003. In accordance with the provisions of 14 C.F.R. §302.203, a copy of this Withdrawal and a copy of the Supplemental Application for Exemption No. ACE-SAI will be served upon the other party in interest in this case.

Counsel: Meyers Alterman, Stephen Alterman, 202-293-1030

AllCanada Express has an application for exemption pending in Docket OST-03-14588. On March 25, 2003, the applicant filed a supplement to its application together with a motion for confidentiality. On April 7, 2003, the applicant withdrew its confidentiality motion. Pleter Schwarzkopf (C-20) asked me to let you (Dockets) know by this email, that now you may place the contents of that supplement into the public Docket of this case.

If ACE Limited becomes bankrupt after the secured creditor has sold the ACE Limited assets, we have been informed that under Canadian law the only issue a trustee in bankruptcy or any other party with standing can raise about the asset sale is whether the price the secured creditor obtained for the assets was sufficient. In other words, the sale by the secured creditor cannot be set aside - the purchaser has validly acquired the business. Any claim regarding the adequacy of the sale price is solely against the secured creditor, and not against the purchaser of the business (ACE Inc.).

On another note, last year, the Department granted ACE Limited a Statement of Authorization to fly 260 fifth-freedom round-trip charter flights between Newark, New Jersey and Hamilton, Bermuda from April 8, 2002 - April 8, 2003. ACE Inc. has requested similar authority for another year and time is of the essence regarding that contract.

Counsel: Meyers Alterman, Yvette Rose, 202-466-8270

AllCanada Express Inc. d/b/a AllCanada Express

In the event that the Bankruptcy Order is made, I would expect the Trustee in Bankruptcy to conduct a thorough investigation of any transactions which involved the sale of the assets of AllCanada to a company controlled by its insiders as potentially invalid under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada, especially transactions which took place subsequent to the filing of the Petition. In addition, I would expect the Trustee in Bankruptcy to investigate the possible sale of the business of AllCanada as a going concern for the benefit of all creditors.

Counsel:  Hodgson Tough, James Hodgson, 416-304-6401

Should the Petition in 'Bankruptcy be supported by the Court, the Trustee will examine the ACE transfer of assets and, if inappropriate, would move to have it set aside.

On April 16, 2003, Zwaig Associates Inc. filed a Response As Trustee In Bankruptcy Of AilCanada Express Limited . In this document, Zwaig alleges certain improprieties with respect to AllCanada Express Limited that have the potential to affect the Application for Exemption sought by ACE Inc. and decision making of the Department with respect to that Application. Since these allegations have not yet been fully answered by the Applicant herein, there is good cause, and it is in the public interest, to permit the filing of this otherwise unauthorized document.

Counsel: Meyers Alterman, Yvette Rose, 202-293-1030

ALLCANADA Express Incorporated d/b/a AllCanada Express

This will confirm that our firm has been appointed by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice to be Trustee in Bankruptcy of AllCanada Express Limited. A copy of the Order placing AllCanada Express Limited in bankruptcy and appointing us as its Trustee under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act of Canada is attached. We would again reiterate that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has found evidence that A11Canada Express Limited has removed or disposed of property with the intent to defraud, defeat or delay creditors and we trust that the Department will do nothing that will further or facilitate the carrying out of the objectives of this conduct which the Court has so severely impugned. We will keep the Department apprised of the progress of our investigation and review of the questionable transactions carried out by AllCanada Express Limited. Accordingly, Zwaig Associates Inc. as Trustee in Bankruptcy of AllCanada Express Ltd., respectfully requests that no further action or proceedings be taken in connection with any application to the Department by any affiliates or insiders of AllCanada Express Ltd. pending the completion of the Trustee's review of potentially voidable transactions undertaken or participated in by AllCanada Express Ltd. and pending the Trustee's further report to the Department.
