SKYVENTURES, INC., RELIEF PAA1 DOCKET 28717 Order 76-3-1 Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D.C. on the 1st day of March, 1976 Application of Skyventures, Inc., for an exemption from Title IV and section 610(a)(4) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended ORDER GRANTING RELIEF By application filed January 2, 1976, Skyventures, Inc. (Skyven- tures), a corporation organized under the laws of Oregon, requests an exemption from Title IV and section 610(a)(4) of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (the Act), in order to engage indirectly in the air transportation of persons for a 2-year period. In support of its application Skyventures alleges, inter alia, that un- der the requested authority it proposed to hold out, arrange, and coor- dinate charter tour flights, primarily all-inclusive, using the services of air taxi operators; that its tours will be designed to offer small special- interest groups, such as sports enthusiasts and sightseers, trips to various quality destinations throughout the North American Conti- nent; that it will arrange itineraries, ground accommodations, and ac- tivities, and the supply of aircraft, crew, and support activities from ex- isting licensed general aviation operators; that it will market the tours partially through travel agents and partially by its own employees; that it will maintain liability insurance in the amount of $75,000 per customer and will have a special guarantee executed by the First State Bank of Oregon guaranteeing payment of all refunds to which tour par- ticipants may be entitled; that it estimates that during the 1st year of service between 600 and 1,000 persons will participate in the tours; I and that the proposed service is experimental in nature and unique in that it combines the use of general aviation aircraft with the highest stand- ard of passenger accommodation and support services available in North America. No answers to this application have been filed. Upon consideration of this application, we have decided to grant Skyventures the requested relief from Title IV of the Act2 for a 2-year period, subject to certain conditions. Skyventures' proposed service is unique and experimental in nature. It proposes to offer to small special- interest groups especially tailored tours, and to coordinate the re- quirements of such tours with those of the air taxi operators desiring to provide the direct air service. Skyventures' proposed operations would appear not only to potentially benefit the public by offering tour oppor- I Skyventures projects that the per-person cost for a 2-week tour will range from $1,700 to 1,900. 2 Although Skyventures also requested relief from sec. 610(a)(4) of the Act. the Board has previously held this section to be inapplicable to indirect air carriers not operating aircraft (see Railway Express Agency, Grand/ather Certificate, 2 C.A.B. 531. 540 (1941), and preamble to ER-917, adopted June 27, 1975).
