SUMMARY: The Department of Transportation is directing all interested

212.3(e) with respect to single-entity charters using jet aircraft 
having more than 100 seats provided to Fortune 500 Companies, 
permitting in such cases only, that advance payment of the charter 
price may be waived in whole or in part by the carrier and charter 
customer jointly, as described more fully in Order 2004-9-18. Under the 
order, where such a waiver has been made only in part, the amount of 
any bond required under this exemption, or the amount of a 
corresponding substitute letter of credit (under Order 2003-11-16), 
need not exceed the amount of the charter price actually collected by 
the carrier.
