Regulation Charter – also called air taxi or ad hoc – flights require certification from the associated country's civil aviation authority.

Types of service There are several business models which offer air charter services from the traditional cha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
