U.S.-Flag Air Carriers Statement - FAR Sections Affected: 47.405 and 52.247-63

Firms using other than U.S. Flag Air Carriers for U.S. Government-financed international air transportation must certify that U.S. carriers were not available and state reasons. Section 5 requires that all Federal agencies and Government contractors and subcontractors use U.S.-flag air carriers for U.S. Government-financed international air transportation of personnel (and their personal effects) or property, to the extent that service by those carriers is available. It requires the Comptroller General of the United States, in the absence of satisfactory proof of the necessity for foreign-flag air transportation, to disallow expenditures from funds, appropriated or otherwise established for the account of the United States, for international air transportation secured aboard a foreign-flag air carrier if a U.S.-flag air carrier is available to provide such services.
