If you haven’t flown privately before, you might assume that all charter operators are equally safe. After all, they each have operating certificates from the FAA. The truth is that the FAA is not staffed adequately to closely monitor and oversee the more than 2,400 charter operators in the United States. Because of this, Cape Air Charter employs best safety practices. All U.S. scheduled (public) and non-scheduled (charter) airlines must adhere to strict FAA, DOT, TSA and other regulatory agencies’ requirements governing safety, security, and consumer protection. Cape Air Charter aircraft are maintained to meet all FAA part-135 safety and maintenance requirements.
