Air Canada - Order 2024-09-15

This consent order concerns unauthorized foreign air transportation by Air Canada in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41301. More specifically, by carrying the United Airlines code in airspace prohibited by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to U.S. operators due to safety concerns, Air Canada violated the conditions of its authority to operate and engaged in foreign air transportation without proper DOT authority. This order directs Air Canada to cease and desist from future similar violations of section 41301 and assesses the carrier a compromise civil penalty of $250,000.
