2.1 General
2.1.1 Generally, when an operator of an aircraft advertises its transportation services to the general public or particular classes or segments of the public for compensation or hire, it is a common carrier. In turn, the transportation service the operator performs is considered to be in common carriage. The scheduled flights into, from and landing in the territory of the U.S. for purposes of loading or unloading passengers, cargo and mail (revenue flights), must first obtain from the U.S. DOT/OST, Office of International Aviation (X.40), a foreign air carrier permit. Applications for common carrier authority must be filed with X.40. If X.40, with the President’s approval, determines that the carrier is fit, willing, and able to perform the service it proposes and that the service is in the public interest, X.40 shall issue the carrier a foreign air carrier permit, subject to the disapproval of the President of the U.S.
