Abstract: 14 CFR Part 215 prohibits a U.S. or foreign air carrier from holding out to the public or performing any air transportation services in any name other than that in which its operating authorization is issued or which has otherwise been approved by the Department. In addition, it sets forth the procedures to be followed by air carriers in changing the name on their authorization or using a trade name. Data collection is done on an occasional basis, in connection with applications from companies seeking new, reissued, or transferred authority in a new name or the use of a trade name.
