JSX is ratcheting up its campaign to preserve its business base after the FAA put out a notice that it is rethinking air carrier definitions in a move that could push certain operations flying under Part 380 public charter economic authority into Part 121.

Released in August, the FAA notice of intent stated that the agency is planning a rulemaking to address “the exception from FAA’s domestic, flag, and supplemental operations regulations for public charter operators.” The notice followed appeals from airlines and the Air Line Pilots Association to prohibit the operation of models such as JSX’s under 380, saying those operators are using a “loophole” to avoid Part 121 standards.
