Holding Charters Responsible For Crashes
Many airplanes flying today are charters and not owned by the operators. The owners charter their planes to make the payments or generate income. Other charter planes are operated by the owner and fly to destinations specified by the customer. Some charter companies have large fleets of planes, while others have a single plane. Some charter companies are set up to provide fractional ownership to the shareholders, giving each a certain amount of flying time. All of these types of charters are governed by Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.
