MONTREAL, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Aeropro, a small Canadian charter air company that had a fatal plane crash in June, was ordered by a judge Sunday to quit flying.
Aeropro, based in Quebec, had sought an injunction Saturday to stop Transport Canada's revocation of Aeropro's operating license but a federal court judge sided with the government agency, The (Montreal) Gazette reported.
Aeropro representative Stephane Dion called it a "regrettable" situation.
"Especially since safety has always been a priority for Aeropro," Dion told The Gazette.
Dion said Aeropro's scheduled flights this week will be handled by another carrier.
Five passengers and two Aeropro crew members were killed June 23 when their twin-engine Beechcraft King Air crashed shortly after the pilot reported engine failure just after takeoff at Quebec City's Jean Lesage airport. The investigation into the mishap continues.
The 22-year-old air carrier has about 150 employees, The Gazette said.
