"WestJet, on behalf of itself and Emirates, has applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (Agency) for an approval to permit Emirates to provide its scheduled international service between the United Arab Emirates and Canada by selling transportation in its own name on flights operated by WestJet between points within Canada and between Canada and the United States of America, for a period of three years or such longer period as may be authorized by the Agency."
