California Pacific Airlines (CP Air)〔"(Carlsbad Palomar Airport to be the home of California Pacific Airlines )." ''Seattle Post-Intelligencer''. Retrieved on May 15, 2010.〕 is a planned airline that is headquartered on the grounds of McClellan-Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, California.〔"(Contact )." California Pacific Airlines. Retrieved on May 15, 2010. "California Pacific Airlines 2198-E Palomar Airport Rd Carlsbad, CA 92011 "〕 ==History== In 2009, 89-year-old Ted Vallas proposed starting a new airline out of Palomar Airport. Vallas, a San Diego County businessperson from North County, had previously operated Air Resorts Airlines, wanted to create a San Diego County-based airline.〔"(New airline gets ready to take off from Carlsbad )." ''KFMB-TV''. April 1, 2010. Updated on April 28, 2010. Retrieved on May 15, 2010.〕 The planned start of operations had been pushed back to the fall of 2012 from late 2011, due to delays in obtaining approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.〔 At the time, the airline had about $14 million in assets, all Vallas' money, with plans to raise up to $32 million more from private investment. On August 10, 2011, the DOT issued a preliminary show cause order to approve the required interstate certificate authority for Carlsbad-Palomar Airlines, Inc. d/b/a California Pacific Airlines (“CP Air”). The department found CP Air is fit, willing, and able to provide interstate air transportation of persons, property, and mail, and should be issued a Certificate of Public Convenience. After 14 days on August 24, 2011, no objections were filed by other parties and this DOT order was made final. On September 9, 2011, CP Air's application for Part 121 certification was accepted by the FAA. The company has also passed it first formal application meeting which tests the company's knowledge of processes and procedures of its operations manual system. By February 6, 2012, California Pacific had passed Phase I of the FAA's formal Part 121 certification process. At the time, California Pacific was the only US applicant airline in the process.〔"()." ''North County Times''. February 6, 2012.〕 Phase II of the application process began after a lease was signed for at least one aircraft. This phase, known as design assessment, is a detailed page by page assessment of the airline's manual system and training procedures. This was expected to be completed by the summer of 2012. Phase III will involve a physical review of an aircraft's layout followed by proving runs. Proving runs are simulated full flight operations without passengers. It is designed to assess an applicant's performance in actual flight operations. Successful completion of proving runs is the final step before regulatory approval would be granted for a Part 121 certificate.〔"(Proposed New Airline in Carlsbad Clears First FAA Hurdle )." ''San Diego Business Journal''. September 14, 2011.〕 California Pacific's first 72-seat Embraer 170 arrived in Carlsbad on July 6, 2012.〔"()." ''North County Times''. June 18, 2012.〕 The Embraer 170, previously N176EC, had previously been operated by now-defunct Cirrus Airlines.〔volaspheric: (Start-up California Pacific Airlines to receive first Embraer 170 )〕 The aircraft's registration changed to N760CP, in honor of the home town area code, following approval by the FAA on August 30. In November 2013, the FAA informed CP Air that it would be sometime in 2014 before they can complete review of the revised application. CEO John Selvaggio told a reporter that the employees had been furloughed and he was returning to his Florida home. The one aircraft delivered was returned to the aircraft maker to save the reported $200,000 monthly rent. 〔 http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=main.textpost&id=9b27e728-4425-4311-94bf-55580e2ba919 〕 As of April 2015, Carlsbad airport city manager considers the airline "defunct". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Pacific Airlines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
