As a result, the air carrier may publish a schedule and is able to collect compensation for providing group jet charter charter flights.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to Part 135 certification, Part 121 is required for carriers who are transporting larger numbers of passengers (i.e. a group jet charter). This level of certification is required for turbojet-powered aircraft having:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>10 or more passenger seats<\/li>\n<li>Payload greater than 7,500 pounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, Part 121 includes additional regulations for supplemental operations where charter flights are carrying more than 30 passengers.<\/p>\n<h2>Stricter Safety Regulations<\/h2>\n<p>Given the increased passenger carrying capacity afforded by Part 121, carriers with this designation are required to follow more strict air charter safety protocols.
