Abstract: Change-of-Gauge Service is scheduled passenger air transportation for which the operating air carrier use one singe flight number even though passengers do not travel in the same aircraft from origin to destination, but must change planes at an intermediate point. In addition, airlines schedule change-in-gauge service that involve aircraft changes between multiple flights on one side of the intermediate change point and one single flight on the other side. This regulation will not result in any costs to the Federal government since data will not be collected as part of this rule.
