What must I do in order to obtain a domestic licence?
A3. An applicant needs to be Canadian owned and controlled, have liability insurance for the proposed air service, and meet financial requirements where it proposes to transport passengers using medium or large aircraft. Additionally, an applicant needs to hold a Canadian aviation document (usually in the form of an air operator certificate) in respect of the applied for air service. Transport Canada (Civil Aviation) issues a Canadian aviation document when all safety requirements are met. An applicant for a domestic licence should obtain the Application Guide for a Licence or for an Amendment to a Licence to Operate a Domestic Air Service. The Guide sets out the information and documentation which needs to be submitted by the applicant to the Agency.
