Under the provisions of the Fly America Act, government travelers are required to use American-flag air carriers for official business overseas. The act was intended to counterbalance foreign governments' restrictive routing practices in relation to use of their national-flag carriers and to increase use of American-flag carriers.
Although there were few statistics available to measure the use of American-flag carriers versus foreign-flag carriers, indications are that federal agencies and their employees are making a special effort to use American-flag carriers. However, the Fly America Act has resulted in additional costs to federal agencies in terms of increased administrative costs, higher air fares, and more employee per diem expenses. It has impinged on the agencies' ability to complete their missions as expeditiously as possible and to exercise flexibility in the manner in which they perform their work. The most significant effect of compliance with the Fly America Act is the high financial risk to the individual traveler.
