✈️ Cabotage & Domestic Flights in the U.S.: What You Need to Know as an International Passenger

For many international travelers, flying private within the U.S. seems as easy as booking a commercial route. But in business aviation, there’s one key regulation that can affect your flight plans: cabotage.

At Fly Business, we believe that transparency is part of a luxury experience. So here’s what you need to know — explained clearly and simply.

🧭 What Is Cabotage?

Cabotage is a U.S. aviation regulation that prohibits foreign-registered aircraft from operating flights between two points within the United States without entering or exiting the country.

In simpler terms:

• ❌ Not allowed: Flying on a non-U.S. registered jet from Los Angeles to New York

• ✅ Allowed: Flying from Mexico City to Miami, or Los Angeles to Cancún

🛩️ How Fly Business Solves This

To better serve our clients, Fly Business now operates aircraft with U.S. registration, meaning we can legally and efficiently offer domestic flights within the United States — without the cabotage limitations.

This allows us to serve routes like:

• Teterboro → Miami

• Scottsdale → Aspen

• Los Angeles → Las Vegas

• Dallas → New York

…among many other options across the U.S.

Whether it's a quick hop or a coast-to-coast flight, our team will tailor the best solution for your needs.

✅ What You Should Know When Booking

• Let us know if your trip involves flights entirely within the U.S.

• We’ll match you with the appropriate aircraft — U.S. or international — depending on your route.

• Our team ensures your itinerary is fully compliant, efficient, and luxurious from start to finish.
