The House bill reauthorizing FAA appropriations for the next four years contains an NBAA-sponsored provision that would allow on-demand air charter operators using turbine or multi-engine piston aircraft with 10 or fewer seats to sell individual seats at a negotiated price on flights between smaller airports.

Introduced by Rep. Steve Pearce (R-N.M.) as an amendment to the Flight 100-Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (Flight 100-CARA), the measure is designed to increase air service to small communities. The concept is limited to a non-hub commercial airport and another airport or between an airport that is not a commercial service airport and another airport.
