Thank you for your question.
The air passenger protection regulations wouldn't necessarily need to be changed, but exemptions would need to be added to the regulations.
The reason we work solely with companies and their employees is to ensure that charterers, the ones that charter the flights, retain the benefit of the charter flight. That's what I was getting at in my opening remarks.
To show what would have to happen in order to make the service available to the public, I'll give you a very simple scenario.
Let's say someone doesn't have a job because of poor health and has to travel outside the region where they live. Currently, the regulations prevent us from offering that person a seat on a co-chartered flight. However, if an exemption were added to section 4.1 of the air passenger protection regulations, that person could choose the type and conditions of carriage that suited them.
If you're interested, my entire team and I would be glad to provide you with an official document on the regulations that would need an exemption so that we could make our charter flights available to the public.
Currently, those are the regulations that apply when a seat not on a co-chartered business-to-business flight is sold to an individual.
A company that charters a private flight doesn't want to open itself up to penalties, if I can call them that. The company doesn't want to have to compensate passengers if it changes the flight itinerary in response to its own needs—the whole reason it chartered the flight.
