FAA Warns BlackBird, Pilots of Possible Rule Violations
BlackBird Air is pausing its Part 91 offerings following a letter it received from the FAA's Enforcement Division.

The FAA sent a letter on December 17 warning charter broker BlackBird Air that pilots using the company’s online platform and app to fly passengers under Part 91 “are holding out and thus are engaged in common carriage.” The agency said it is planning to investigate BlackBird’s activities and possibly also pilots flying for BlackBird. In response, BlackBird has “paused” this feature of its offerings.
