Or do you mean your employer hires an aircraft which you fly as a company employee in order to carry the goods and staff only of your employer? If so, private operation.
Tailwheel has a point, I did not consider where the company who you work for doesn't own the aircraft. We don't cross hire or sub lease because of the insurance implications. The owner/policy holder must have and maintain operational control of the aircraft. It would require a significant change to our insurance policy and premiums and the hirer in the case of a company for their exclusive use will require their own insurance policy as well. Not something I would even consider but you should know that's an issue.
