Aviation Orgs Question FAA over Proposed Public Charter Overhaul
Groups say proposal not based on data

Six aviation groups—including NBAA, GAMA, NATA, and HAI—are jointly questioning the FAA’s basis for proposed revisions to requirements for on-demand air carriers operating Department of Transportation (DOT)-authorized public charter operations under DOT Part 380. The FAA Notice of Intent (NOI) suggests potential revisions to the regulatory definitions of “on-demand operation,” “supplemental operation,” and “scheduled operation” under FAR Part 110, which governs Part 135 public charter carriers conducting DOT Part 380 flights.

These FAA regulations govern the operations of air carriers, while DOT Part 380 regulations address economic authority for those offering public charters. Current regulations allow a Part 380 operator to work with any air carrier, including on-demand carriers operating under Part 135.
