Q5. If a carrier operates both passenger and cargo aircraft, and offers 30% of its passenger aircraft, but less than 15%, or none, of its cargo aircraft, will it be ineligible for any award? Or will it only be eligible for passenger awards but not cargo awards? Or will it still be eligible for cargo awards in addition to passenger awards since it did submit 30% of its passenger fleet despite not submitting 15% of its cargo fleet?

A5. CRAF eligible carriers are required to commit the applicable percentage to each category. Carriers would not be eligible for contract award if the minimum percentage is not met.
