Bill > HR7501

This bill, titled the "Safe Flights for Passengers and Flight Crews Act," directs the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to regulate passenger-carrying scheduled charter operations that use aircraft with more than nine passenger seats (excluding crew seats) as domestic or flag operations under part 121 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. This change will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted, even if the FAA hasn't issued specific regulations yet. A "passenger-carrying scheduled charter operation" is defined as any public charter operation under part 380 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, where the departure and arrival locations and times are offered in advance by the air carrier or operator. The intent is to remove public charters from being eligible for "on-demand eligibility," which generally refers to less stringent regulatory requirements, and instead subject them to the more comprehensive safety regulations typically applied to scheduled airlines.
