Petition for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA-2020-0492.
Petitioner: Airlines for America.
Sections of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec. 91.9(a) and (b),
121.153(a), 121.337(b)(9)(iii).
Description of Relief Sought: Airlines for America petitions for
relief from 14 CFR 91.9(a) and (b), 121.153(a), and 121.337(b)(9)(iii)
to allow its member airlines to transport cargo, subject to the FAA's
conditions, on the floor of the main deck of transport category
airplanes without revenue passengers onboard. COVID-19 has dramatically
reduced the demand for commercial air travel. Due to this extreme
reduction in demand, passenger carriers now have the capacity to carry
cargo, including critical medical cargo, in-cabin. The relief that
would be provided by this exemption would also support the need to
replace the cargo capacity provided on airplanes normally flown by
passenger carriers.
