The Safe Flights for Passengers and Flight Crews Act requires the Federal Aviation Administration to reclassify certain charter airline operations under stricter federal regulations. Specifically, the bill eliminates the ability of public charter companies operating aircraft with more than 9 passenger seats to use flexible scheduling rules; instead, they must comply with the same safety and operational standards as traditional scheduled airlines. This change takes effect 90 days after the bill becomes law and applies to charter operators that advertise fixed departure times, locations, and arrival destinations in advance. The legislation aims to improve safety for passengers and flight crews by subjecting these charter operations to more rigorous FAA oversight and regulations. No specific funding is mentioned in the bill.
