Scenics or RPT?
Just a question for those out there with a better understanding of the regs than me.
As many of you would be aware, most scenic operators publish departure times and/or days of the week/time of year when scenic flights operate, along with the costs, routes etc etc in their brochures.
So, my questions is this - where does this fall in terms of charter and RPT? By advertising times and routes, aren't these companies operating "between fixed terminals on fixed schedules" AND these flights are "open to persons generally" by means of advertising. (Wording of regs rough from memory)
Maybe I'm looking into this way too much, but would be interested to hear people's opinions.
Cheers,
