Transport Canada Lifts Restrictions On Georgian Express Ltd.
Transport Canada suspended Georgian Express' operating certificate on Thursday, January 22, 2004, following the fatal accident at Pelee Island, subject to demonstration by the company that it meets all regulations and standards. The special purpose audit conducted by Transport Canada over the past few days has confirmed that the company has systems in place enabling it to meet all requirements.
Transport Canada has increased the frequency of inspection of the air operator and will continue to monitor Georgian Express' operations closely.
Georgian Express continues to cooperate fully with the department. Today's decision does not preclude further action at a later date.
Transport Canada will continue to support the investigation underway by the Transportation Safety Board.
