1. Our Relationship with our Operators
As we are a European based Company, our Terms and Conditions are designed to with EASA regulations. Therefore, in accordance with EASA regulation, Flitestar Aviation Ltd, as an agent of the "Operators" agrees to arrange air transportation services for Passengers, which will be provided by Operators holding a valid European air operating certificate. It is important to note that Flitestar Aviation Ltd is not an aircraft operator and arranges air carrier services solely as an agent of the Operator. This means that only Operators are responsible for ensuring the safety of a flight and for providing services, including the flight crew and aircraft operations. To reiterate the point, Flitestar Aviation Ltd is NOT a registered Operator, nor does it provide air carrier services. Flitestar Aviation Ltd offers a platform through which to obtain services from Operators, but in no way does it have any responsibility or liability for any services provided by third parties.
3. Force Majeure:
On occasion, things happen that are beyond our control. In the event that Flitestar Aviation Ltd is rendered unable by reason of any event of Force Majeure (defined below) to perform, wholly or in part, any obligation or commitment set forth in these Terms, then upon such party's giving written notice and full particulars of such event after the occurrence thereof, the obligations of such party, except for obligations to make payment of money due, shall be suspended to the extent that such party is affected by such Force Majeure and for the period such Force Majeure condition exists. The term "Force Majeure" when used herein shall include, without limitation, acts of God and acts of public enemies, wars, insurrection, riots, acts of terrorism, theft, embargo, bad weather, tornado, transportation emergency, earthquake, fire, flood, epidemic, quarantine restrictions, unanticipated national emergency, strikes of a national or industry-wide scope that are not limited to or focused on the parties and their employment practices, in each case to the extent: (a) such act or event prevents a party from performing its obligations or complying with any conditions of these Terms, and (b) such act or event is unforeseeable and could not have been avoided or mitigated through the exercise of commercially reasonable means. The party claiming an event of Force Majeure shall take all steps that are reasonable and necessary to mitigate the effect of the Force Majeure event.
Notwithstanding the above, for a regularly scheduled, fully prepaid flight cancelled as a result of events outlined above, Flitestar Aviation Ltd may make commercially reasonable efforts to secure a substitute aircraft of similar cabin class. Passenger will have a right to accept or decline the substitute aircraft. This provision does not apply to delays or cancellations where Regulation EC 261/2004 precedes.
