Office of the Secretary
Guidance on Review and Approval of
Public Charter Prospectuses
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Guidance on Review and
Approval of Public Charter
Prospectuses.
AGENCY:
The Department is publishing
the following notice on new policies
affecting the review and approval of
public charter filings under 14 CFR Part
380 and related changes in the
Department’s enforcement policies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Nicholas Lowry, Attorney, Office of
Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
(C–70), 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE.,
Washington, DC 20590, (202) 366–9349.
SUMMARY:
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Office of the Secretary
Washington, DC
Guidance on Review and Approval of
Public Charter Prospectuses
Notice
The abrupt cessation of service by the
Percent
public charter operator, Southern Sky
Air & Tours, LLC d/b/a Direct Air, in
March 2012, and its subsequent
3.375 bankruptcy, resulted in the cancellation
of numerous charter flights and
1.688 disrupted the travel plans of thousands
of consumers. In light of the Direct Air
6.000 collapse, the Office of International
Aviation’s Special Authorities Division,
4.000
in conjunction with the Office of
3.125 Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings
(Enforcement Office), has revised its
policies regarding the review and
3.000 approval of public charter prospectuses
filed under 14 CFR Part 380 and the
related enforcement policy.
A number of practices followed by
4.000 Direct Air may have exacerbated
consumer harm. Among these were
Direct Air’s contracting out of its
3.000
reservations process to a third party,
Jkt 229001
PO 00000
Frm 00103
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and its entry into direct air carrier
contracts that were apparently limited
to providing aircraft, crew, maintenance
and insurance (ACMI). The public
charter operator separately contracted
on its own behalf directly with fuel
suppliers and perhaps ground handlers.
In addition, the charter operator
collected consumer funds, accepting
debit as well as credit card payments,
through a voucher program in which
consumers paid in advance for flights
without selecting specific travel dates
and without entering into the formal
operator-participant contracts required
by Part 380.
In the future, pursuant to the public
interest responsibilities we have under
14 CFR 380.24, we will no longer
approve public charter prospectus
filings that do not, as part of the filings,
contain:
(1) A statement, in addition to that
required under section 380.28(a)(1)(iii),
confirming that the contracts between
the public charter operator and the
direct air carriers include the full cost
of the direct air service; that is, contracts
between the tour operator and the direct
air carriers must be all-inclusive and
cannot be ACMI (i.e., fuel or ground
handling cannot be addressed in
separate contracts between the public
charter operator and a third-party
vendor); and
(2) A statement that the public charter
operator will retain direct control of all
passenger reservation records and will
share those records with the direct air
carrier to ensure that, in the event of a
major disruption in the program as
occurred with Direct Air, the direct air
carrier would be able to identify and
contact tour participants regarding
returning flights, and to ensure that the
charter operator can fulfill its obligation
to provide appropriate cancellation
notices to those with reservations more
than 10 days in the future; if a public
charter operator contracts with a thirdparty for reservations service, a
duplicate, current copy of all
reservations records must be accessible
to the tour operator at all times.
In addition, to ensure that consumers
not paying in cash receive the
protections of the Fair Credit Billing Act
(15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), public charter
operators may accept payment, as the
explicit language of section 380.31
currently provides, only by credit card,
but not by debit card.1 The Department
will consider exemptions to this
requirement provided it can be assured
that debit card issuers, their merchant
1 In a future rulemaking, the Department may
address the use of debit cards in purchasing charter
air transportation.
