Concerned that an economic dispute is threatening the use of Part 380, a coalition of six aviation organizations appealed to the White House, the Department of Transportation (DOT), the FAA, and Congress to handle such disagreements independently, without making major changes to the current regulatory framework.
In letters written by NBAA, the National Air Transportation Association, and Helicopter Association International—among others, the organizations stressed that a Part 380 application “has been misused by economic competitors that, with no evidence of safety and security concerns, seeks to prevent Part 135 operators from conducting public charter [Part 380] flights. Their unsubstantiated claims do a disservice to this well-established regulatory framework and the safe, secure transportation services its operators provide to the traveling public.”
