By LET-A-4-1999 dated January 6, 1999, the Agency required Sun Country to show cause within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the letter, why Sun Country should not be found to have acted in contravention of section 91 and paragraph 93(1)(a) of the ATR with respect to the flights in question.
By letter dated February 5, 1999, Sun Country acknowledged that it had inadvertently neglected to comply with subsection 91(1) of the ATR by failing to apply for a charter permit, and indicated that such failure was the result of an unfamiliarity with Canadian regulations by new personnel.
Sun Country indicates that it has implemented procedures to safeguard against recurrences of this situation, including distribution of the relevant regulatory provisions to all carrier personnel involved in transborder passenger charters.
