Abstract

Notes Among the various types of non-scheduled flight for which governments at both sides of the North Atlantic have progressively seen fit to issue specific rules and regulations, the 'Special Event Charter' flight (SEC) lacks the kind of reputation enjoyed by other charter categories like the 'inclusive tour', 'affinity' or 'advance booking'type of charter flights. As the name implies, this low profile of the SEC is a consequence of its comparatively low rate of utilization. Contrary to other charter concepts, the SEC formula can only be used at certain times, i.e, on the occasion of a 'special event'. As national charter rules fail t o give a precise definition of thisterm, the SEC, unlike other charter categories, poses a particular problem of interpretation. Moreover, as government charter policies to a certain extent are designed to promote scheduled operations, additional problems arise if on a given route both SEC's and scheduled services are planned to be operated on the occasion of the same event. A situation, where the event generates sufficient traffic to warrant the operation of a scheduled service, involves the question of priority. To solve this problem the distinction between the two types of operation calls for
