Fligth Sharing Platform
Limited
FLY SAFE
BBPlane particularly focuses its interest on the safety of passengers and pilots. In this sense, each user (both Passenger and Pilot) must register on the Portal, communicating his identity, address, telephone number and details of his identity card / passport. This information is necessary to ensure mutual pilot-passenger trust, increasing the safety standards of the BBPlane Portal.
Pilots must also communicate the details of their flight licenses, aircraft identifiers and flight hours performed.
FEEDBACK
To improve the Pilot-Passenger interaction, BBPlane wants to create a community based on truthful and verified feedback systems. In fact, after each flight, Pilots and Passengers will be able to share their opinions, impressions and emotions shared through feedback. This will facilitate the increase in the quality standards of the service offered on the Pilot side and, at the same time, will guarantee Pilots to know who gets on board.
REGULATION
The sharing of flight costs is regulated by the European Regulation (EU) No 379/2014 of 7 April 2014, which amends the previous Commission Regulation (EU) No 965/2012. Pilots can share flights and aircraft up to a maximum of 6 seats, with non-complex engines. According to current legislation it is allowed to share only the flight costs, without producing profit on the routes. EASA also issued a statement stating the possibility of advertising flights, as long as the flight costs remain shared.
TERMS OF CANCELLATION
It will be possible to cancel a flight in the following cases:
The Pilot does not approve the user's request;
The Pilot makes a cancellation within 72 hours prior to the flight;
The Passenger makes a cancellation within 48 hours prior to the flight
Furthermore, the Pilot can cancel the flight at any time due to bad weather or for reasons not directly attributable to it (eg strikes, order from control bodies, non-navigable aircraft). In all the cases mentioned above, passengers will be reimbursed, if they have already paid, of the entire amount paid. If the Passengers have chosen the cash payment method at the airport, they will not be required to have any refund, or to pay any sum of money, as long as the aforementioned cases are respected.
INSURANCE
Passengers, their baggage and third parties are covered by the aircraft insurance which the Pilot is required by law to comply with. Insurance is also compulsory for ultralights from 1st May 2005 thanks to the European regulation CE 785/2004.
