Becomes The Newest United States Flag/Domestic Carrier
On February 28, 2014, the FAA approved National Airlines to become the United States' newest Flag/Domestic air carrier.
National Airlines has a long history of supporting governments and militaries around the world -- by, among other things, flying ad hoc cargo shipments in and out of crisis areas and also operating charter passenger operations for sports teams in the United States, visitors to/from Cuba, and contractors traveling between the United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan. US Flag/Domestic authority will allow National Airlines to expand its services to include conducting scheduled passenger flights throughout the United States and across the globe. It also provides an opportunity for National Airlines to continue its support of the US government travelers under the Fly America Act, whereby US government funded travelers fly on US Flag Carriers whenever available.
National Airlines says it maintains the highest standards of safety, security, and compliance. "This is nowhere more important than in the Middle East, which has been a significant market for National Airlines," said Glen Joerger, National Airlines' President.
"This operating authority will further strengthen our position as an emerging passenger carrier of choice for discerning customers seeking US Flag service in the region. This tremendous addition to National's operating certificate reinforces our corporate commitment to serve every facet of transportation and logistics for our key clientele around the globe," Joerger said.
