              Subpart E_Commuter Air Carrier Authorizations

 

Sec. 298.52  Air taxi operations by commuter air carriers.



    (a) A commuter air carrier that holds an effective Commuter Air 

Carrier Authorization and otherwise meets the requirements of this part 

is also authorized to conduct air taxi operations (e.g., scheduled 

cargo, mail under a U.S. Postal Service contract, on-demand passenger, 

on-demand cargo, or other service such as air ambulance operations, 

firefighting or seasonal operations) without having to meet the 

registration requirements of subpart C of this part, except as provided 

in paragraph (b) of this section.

    (b) Should a commuter air carrier cease conducting all scheduled 

passenger operations and its Commuter Air Carrier Authorization is 

suspended pursuant to Sec. Sec. 298.53 and/or 204.7 of this chapter, it 

may continue to conduct air taxi operations provided that the carrier 

maintains in effect liability insurance coverage as required for such 

operations by part 205 of this chapter and, within 10 days of the 

cessation of scheduled passenger operations, registers as an air taxi 

operator in accordance with subpart C of this part; and provided further 

that the carrier continues to hold authority from the Federal Aviation 

Administration to conduct such air taxi operations.
