   CHAPTER II--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

                         (AVIATION PROCEEDINGS)

 

PART 215_USE AND CHANGE OF NAMES OF AIR CARRIERS, FOREIGN AIR CARRIERS 

AND COMMUTER AIR CARRIERS--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 215.2  Purpose.



    This part sets rules under which direct air carriers may use the 

names in their operating authorizations and change those names. It 

further provides for notification to air carriers that may be affected 

by the use by other air carriers of the same or similar names. Its 

purpose is to place the responsibility for resolving private disputes 

about the use of similar names with the air carriers involved, through 

recourse to the trade names statutes and the courts. These rules do not 

preclude Department intervention or enforcement action should there be 

evidence of a significant potential for, or of actual, public confusion.
