The Biden administration says it will take a look at increasing regulation over some air charters that operate much like regular airlines.
Some charters, like those operated by JSX, use private terminals and passengers don’t go through the normal security screening. The operators tout the time savings compared with regular airline flights. Standards for pilot experience and crew rest are less restrictive than for airlines.to start a subsidiary that would operate under less-restrictive charter-airline rules if it limits those flights to 30 seats.
SkyWest says charters are the only way to preserve service to many smaller communities that the big airlines have dropped. The company said Thursday that its charter business “already exceeds current safety requirements and will transition to any additional requirements that may be adopted by the FAA as part of the rulemaking process.”The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
