49 U.S.C. § 41505 — Uniform methods for establishing joint prices, and divisions of joint prices, applicable to commuter air carriers
submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 103-272 to r/title-49-TRANSPORTATION · 226 words · no verdicts yet
A "commuter air carrier" flies at least 5 round trips a week between the same two places. When the Secretary of Transportation sets a uniform method for joint prices between certificated air carriers, that method also applies between air carriers and commuter carriers. A commuter carrier must give 90 days' notice before changing or ending through-service agreements, or the uniform method stops applying to it.
(a) Definition. In this section, "commuter air carrier" means a carrier providing transportation under section 40109(f) that flies at least 5 scheduled round trips a week between the same two places.
(b) General rule. Except as subsection (c) provides, when the Secretary of Transportation sets, under section 41508 or 41509, a uniform method for establishing joint prices and their divisions for carriers holding section 41102 certificates, the Secretary must also apply that method between those carriers and commuter air carriers.
(c) Notice before changes. A commuter carrier with an agreement to provide through service — combining its own routes with an air carrier's transportation — must give the air carrier and the Secretary at least 90 days' notice before modifying, suspending, or ending that service. If it fails to give notice, the uniform method described in subsection (b) stops applying to that commuter carrier.
In this section, “commuter air carrier” means an air carrier providing transportation under section 40109(f) of this title that provides at least 5 scheduled roundtrips a week between the same 2 places.
Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, when the Secretary of Transportation prescribes under section 41508 or 41509 of this title a uniform method generally applicable to establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices for and between air carriers holding certificates issued under section 41102 of this title, the Secretary shall make that uniform method apply to establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices for and between air carriers and commuter air carriers.
A commuter air carrier that has an agreement with an air carrier to provide transportation for passengers and property that includes through service by the commuter air carrier over the commuter air carrier’s routes and air transportation provided by the air carrier shall give the air carrier and the Secretary at least 90 days’ notice before modifying, suspending, or ending the transportation. If the commuter air carrier does not give that notice, the uniform method of establishing joint prices and divisions of joint prices referred to in subsection (b) of this section does not apply to the commuter air carrier.
