Description
More than five years after issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking toughening requirements to better protect charter passengers from unscrupulous operators and brokers, the DOT has issued final rules. The new requirements, effective Feb. 14, 2019, stem from several accidents in the early 2000s in which the NTSB investigations revealed illegal operations, unclear delineation between the broker and the operator, murky responsibilities, and poor federal oversight of the air-taxi business.
