Federal Travel Regulation; Use of Commercial Transportation, Fly America Act

Resumo

This final rule amends the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) provisions pertaining to use of U.S. flag air carriers under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 40118, commonly referred to as the Fly America Act. This final rule reduces the connecting time for use of U.S. flag air carrier service at an overseas interchange point; requires that airline tickets issued under a code share agreement identify the U.S. flag air carrier's designator code and flight number; removes references to ``gateway airports;'' and implements a new method for calculation of the employee's liability for unauthorized transportation on a foreign air carrier.
