First of all, I have to correct the Member. The rules do not apply to only one specific jurisdiction. The rules for 2010 application will come forward and apply to all jurisdictions for all aircraft that are uncertified. That is the issue here, is there are two planes currently flying in the North that cannot demonstrate they can land on the runways we currently provide. Until they become certified, until they can find that information or justify it through testing, that won’t be allowed. We have taken the liberty and opportunity to write to companies that may be able to support us in providing that information. If that’s the case, if the information comes forward, then these aircraft can be certified. The aircraft carriers have not been willing to get some of this testing done for whatever reason.

All jurisdictions are involved and that’s the reason we are seeing a lot of these other planes coming on the market, such as the Beech 1900 that the communities want to buy. There are other aircraft that can meet the need. There is no intention of disadvantaging or targeting anyone. This is an issue we will be discussing and workshopping at our conference with the NATA in April. All the carriers will have an opportunity to have input and further discussion. For us to extend all the runways across the NWT would be a huge, expensive undertaking that we are not resourced to accommodate at this point.
