Order Confirming Oral Action, Issuing Effective Interstate Certificate Authority, and Revoking Foreign Certificate Authority

On June 28, 2006, BJS submitted evidence that it had appropriate liability insurance, third-party verification of its available funding, and its Air Carrier Certificate and Operations Specifications from the FAA authorizing it to conduct interstate charter air transportation. The air carrier also provided a statement confirming that it had not undergone any changes in areas affecting its fitness, with the exception of a minor change in its ownership, since the Department issued its Show Cause Order on June 12, 2006. At the same time, it requested that the Department waive the six-day waiting period and make its interstate authority effective as soon as possible.

With respect to its foreign certificate authority, it has now been more than one year since BJS was found fit to engage in foreign charter air transportation and the company has yet to provide a copy of its amended Operating Specifications from the FAA authorizing such operations using large aircraft.
