§ 212.22 - Pretrip notification and charter contract.

(a) Upon a charter flight date being reserved by the carrier or its agent the carrier shall provide the prospective charterer with a copy of this part 212. 2 The charter contract shall include a provision that the charterer, and any agent thereof, shall only act with regard to the charter in a manner consistent with this part and that the charterer shall within due time submit to the carrier such information as specified in § 212.45. The carrier shall also require that the charterer and any travel agent involved shall furnish it at least 30 days prior to departure of the first flight the statements of Supporting Information required in §§ 212.47 and 212.31, respectively, unless the charter has been contracted for within 30 days before the date of departure, in which event the statement and attachments shall be filed with the carrier on the date the charter contract is executed. In the event of a substitution of carriers, the carrier with whom the statements and attachments have been filed may forward them to the substitute carrier, in which case new statements need not be executed.

(b) The carrier shall attach to its copy of the charter contract a certification by an officer of the chartering organization, or other qualified person, that authorizes the person who executes the contract to do so on behalf of the chartering organization. However, certification is not required where the charter is based on employment in one entity, or on employee or student status at a school. If the charter contract is for the return flight of a one-way charter by the same charter organization, a copy of the passenger list (§ 212.45) of the outbound charter shall be attached to the charter contract.
