NBAA recognizes the value-added role brokers can play in arranging air transportation on qualified business aircraft. Air charter brokering is a significant vehicle to connect qualified suppliers of air transportation with qualified customers – so significant that the air charter broker industry is now specifically regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).

This “NBAA Best Practices for Air Charter Brokering” publication addresses the role air charter brokers play in the Part 135 on-demand air charter industry (aircraft with 30 or fewer seats), discusses the applicable federal regulations, and identifies best practices to be applied throughout the air charter brokering industry. It also provides information that will help air charter brokers in conducting their business.

NBAA urges all air charter brokers offering services to U.S. customers to follow the DOT regulations Part 295, Air Charter Brokers, of Title 14 of the Code of Federal
Regulations and the best practices outlined in this document.
