More Flexible Charter Aircraft Limits
We’ve updated the rules for which aircraft can fly charter jobs, giving you more flexibility.
Previously, an aircraft was only eligible if its aircraft type had a maximum capacity of 19 seats or fewer. This meant many slightly larger aircraft were excluded from charter work, even if you configured them with very few seats.
Now, this restriction has been split into two new, more flexible limits:
- Configured Seats: Your aircraft's actual seat configuration (total of First, Business, and Economy) must be 20 seats or fewer.
- Aircraft Type: The aircraft's maximum type capacity (e.g., the airframe's limit) must be 40 seats or fewer.
This change means you can now reconfigure larger airframes (like a BBJ) for charter use, as long as you keep the configured seats at or below the 20-seat limit.
Aircraft types with a maximum capacity over 40 (like standard 737 or A320) remain ineligible for charters, regardless of their configuration.
