Buffalo Airways' licence reinstated by Transport Canada

Regulator says it will 'closely monitor' airline to verify it is taking corrective actions on safety issues

Last Updated: Jan 12, 2016 7:05 PM CT

Transport Canada says it has reinstated Buffalo Airways' Air Operator Certificate effective immediately.

In a news release issued late Tuesday, the agency said the move came following the approval of the N.W.T.-based company's corrective action plans.

The regulator suspended the airline's air operator certificate, effective Nov. 30 at 11:59 p.m., due to its "poor safety record."

In the release, it says its concerns regarding the company's safety record and its ability to keep its operations compliant with aviation safety regulations have been addressed by the corrective actions, and that it will "closely monitor" Buffalo Airways to "verify that its corrective action is implemented and sustained."

Joe McBryan's agreement was 'an extreme step' in response to pressure from Transport Canada

Joe McBryan, owner and president of Buffalo Airways and star of Ice Pilots NWT, has signed a letter agreeing to step away from the day-to-day operations of the airline, according to a consultant working to help the beleaguered company have its suspended air operator certificate reinstated.
