Public Charters are a way of providing air transportation services that are subject to Department of Transportation regulations. These regulations, published in Title 14 CFR Part 380, provide enhanced consumer protection by specifying minimum contract terms and imposing requirements for handling of passenger funds.

The air carrier that performs Ultimate Air Shuttle flights is Ultimate JetCharters, LLC. As the direct air carrier, Ultimate JetCharters, LLC. is responsible for all aspects of the flight services.

The Department of Transportation advises passengers that:

“Charter flights can provide excellent value, and they often operate nonstop in markets where scheduled flights would be less direct. In addition, many charters don’t have all of the restrictions of scheduled service discount fares, e.g., advance-purchase, stay over a Saturday night, stay no more than 30 days, etc. Finally, most charter fares are not ‘capacity-controlled’ like scheduled-service discount fares; every seat on the airplane is usually available at the advertised fare.”
