Who is responsible
The operator holds operational control and answers to the Direction générale de l'Aviation civile (DGAC) for its crew, maintenance and flight operations.
What we check
We only quote operators on France's DGAC list of air carriers, and we ask for the aircraft's insurance certificate before you sign.
Weather and the crew's decision
The pilot in command has the final word on whether a flight goes ahead. Flights can be delayed, rerouted or cancelled for weather or safety, especially helicopter flights in the hills. We will never ask a crew to fly when they judge it unsafe.
