TRANSPORT CANADA SUSPENDS AIR OPERATOR CERTIFICATE OF EDMONTON SKYDIVE CENTRE

News Release

No. PNR 003/04 For release July 23, 2004 EDMONTON - Transport Canada today announced the suspension of Edmonton Skydive Centre's Air Operator Certificate, effective immediately. This action follows Transport Canada inspections of the company and is based on concerns with the company's ability to exercise operational control, which includes proper record keeping, training and aircraft maintenance. Transport Canada has taken this action in the interest of public safety following a comprehensive review of inspection findings. The department worked with Edmonton Skydive Centre prior to the suspension and the company had an opportunity to provide input into the process. Today's suspension does not preclude any further regulatory action at a later date. The department will continue to work with Edmonton Skydive Centre. The company will need to demonstrate that it meets all applicable rules and regulations before its Air Operator Certificate will be re-instated. -30- Contact: Gabriela Klimes Communications, Winnipeg Transport Canada (204) 983-7495 Transport Canada is online at www.tc.gc.ca.
