The "Fly America Act"

The "Fly America Act" 

What is it? 

In a nutshell, the Fly America Act, is a U.S. Law that requires that foreign air travel funded with Federal dollars be performed on U.S. flag air carriers, unless one has a good reason not to. This also includes cargo and mail. 

Since Baltia, will be the only Airline servicing that route, BLTA will have "captive" customers.
