in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

An airline can only fly to a small community getting federal help if the Secretary decides it is fit, willing, and able to do the job. The planes and operations must also meet FAA safety standards.

This section overrides section 40109(a) and (c) through (h). An airline may provide service to a place covered by this program only if the Secretary of Transportation decides two things are true: (1) the airline is fit, willing, and able to actually provide the service; and (2) the planes used, and how they are operated, meet the safety standards set by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
