Non-Certificated carrier

A non-certificated carrier is an air carrier that is not subject to economic regulation by the government. Non-certificated carriers are typically smaller airlines that operate on a regional or local basis. These carriers are sometimes referred to as “commuter” or “regional” airlines.

• Non-certificated carriers are not required to hold an Air Carrier Certificate, which is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
• As such, these carriers are not subject to the same regulations as major airlines.
• However, non-certificated carriers must still comply with FAA safety regulations.

Non-certificated carriers typically offer less service than major airlines. For example, they may have fewer flight frequencies and destinations. They may also have less- frequent or no connecting flights.

Non-certificated carriers may be a good option for those who are looking for a more affordable way to travel. These carriers typically have lower fares than major airlines. However, it is important to compare the total cost of your trip when considering which airline to use. This includes factors such as baggage fees and other charges that may apply.

When choosing a non-certificated carrier, it is important to research the airline to make sure it is safe and reliable. You can check the safety record of an airline by searching the FAA’s Air Travel Consumer Report database. You can also read customer reviews of an airline before booking your flight.
