What does being designated as an "Eligible On-Demand Operator" allow Flexjet LLC to do during FAR 135 operations?

Being designated as an "Eligible On-Demand Operator" provides Flexjet LLC with specific operational advantages during FAR 135 operations. One of the key benefits of this designation is the ability to file to airports that lack weather reporting facilities. This capability is crucial for enhancing operational flexibility, particularly in remote locations where weather reporting might not be available.

While some other options, such as only flying in fair weather or being restricted to airports with weather reporting, may imply limitations, the designation specifically permits operations to airports without such facilities. This allows Flexjet to expand its range of operations and better serve clients, even in areas where conventional weather reporting is not feasible. The flexibility to operate in varied environments is vital for meeting diverse travel needs effectively.
