Safe Flights for Passengers and Flight Crews Act

This bill would change how the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulates scheduled public charter flights. Starting 90 days after the bill becomes law, any passenger charter operation that advertises its departure location, departure time, and arrival location in advance would be regulated under the FAA's Part 121 rules for domestic or flag airline operations. This would apply when the aircraft has more than 9 passenger seats, not counting crew seats. The requirement would take effect on that date whether or not the FAA has issued regulations to carry it out.
