OST-2000-7668 - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity - Interstate Scheduled Service

Issued and Served February 1, 2008

Show Cause Order

By this order, we propose to revoke the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued to Boston-Maine Airways Corp., and dismiss its applications for foreign scheduled certificate and exemption authority for its failure to continue to remain fit, willing, and able to provide air transportation as a U.S. certificated air carrier. Our review of the record in this case indicates that BMAC does not possess (1) the financial wherewithal to continue or expand its operations without posing an undue risk to consumers and their funds, (2) the managerial competence necessary to oversee its current and proposed operations, and (3) a proper regard for the laws and regulations governing its services to ensure that its aircraft and personnel conform to applicable safety standards and to ensure that acceptable consumer relations practices will be followed.
