The FAA’s notice said it is considering safety rule revisions because expansion of such carriers is “an increased risk to safety if left unchecked.” TSA subsequently said it would look at the charter operations from a security risk threat perspective.There are more than 1,800 charter air companies in the US, according to the US Private Aviation Association.
