In response to the questions and answers posted to FBO, specifically regarding the Fly America Act, current U.S. law requires the preference of U.S. Flagged Air Carriers Holding Certificates, even if the transportation is provided to a foreign country or international or other organization if the funding is coming from U.S. Taxpayers. Request incorporation of preference for U.S. Flagged Air Carriers as a requirement of the solicitation in order to comply with U.S. law.

The U.S. contribution to the funds used for this requirement is appropriated by Congress and consolidated with the direct donations of several other donor nations. At that point, the appropriated funds are no longer treated as U.S. funds.
