Indirect Air Carrier
What type of US certification do I require if I am planning on operating a scheduled service between two cities. I will sell the service directly to the public and be responsible for all costs. I will not, however, operate any aircraft. I will enter into a contract with a licensed carrier to operate the aircraft on my behalf who will be paid a fixed fee. As I am not operating any aircraft I do not believe I need any FAA certification. Must I, however, obtain any certification from DOT in the form of an economic authority.
