Blackbird Air (BBB, Billund) has filed an application with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) for a foreign air carrier permit with a plan to operate business charters to the United States.
The Danish business charter specialist "seeks authority from the Department in order to offer premium executive charter service to the US", the carrier stated in the application. Blackbird Air intends to operate on transatlantic routes between the European Common Aviation Area, including the EU and some other countries, and the US within the legal framework of the EU-US Open-Skies Agreement.
The airline has applied for a "small aircraft" permit which has slightly less strict regulatory requirements.
Blackbird Air currently operates a fleet of two aircraft, one Falcon 7X and one Falcon 2000S. It has only operated under its own air operator's certificate since October 1, 2017.
