Summary: | The Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee requested that we conduct a review and provide observations regarding FAA's oversight of commuter and on-demand operators. Specifically, we were asked to (1)evaluate the differences between FAA regulation and oversight of commuter and on-demand operators versus requirements and oversight provided for larger commercial air carriers; (2) identify specific issues that may hinder FAA in its oversight, such as a lack of adequate data on commuter and on-demand operations; and (3) provide recommendations to improve FAA oversight of these operators. |
