Order HereA Single Operating Certificate–also known as a SOC–is a document issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the regulatory process of combining the two subsidiary air carrier certificates under one certificate has been completed. In this particular case, this means that the American and US Airways certificates will officially be combined in the eyes of the FAA, but the merger process is still a bit far from being completed.
American Airlines and US Airways are now operating under a single operating certificate issued by FAA. The milestone was achieved 16 months after American emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and merged with US Airways.
American said in a statement that “most flight operations, maintenance and dispatch procedures will be identical for all flights. Air traffic control communications will refer to all American and US Airways flights with the call sign ‘American’.”
American originally hadn’t expected to achieve a single operating certificate until late 2015.
American COO Robert Isom said the remaining significant merger components are “moving to a single reservations system and website and combining our frontline employee workgroups.” Earlier this year, American’s pilots ratified a five-year collective bargaining agreement that brought all of the flight deck crew of American and US Airways under one labor contract.
American noted that “more than 110,000 employees completed hundreds of thousands of hours of training in multiple phases and more than 115,000 pages on policies and procedures were published” in order to achieve a single operating certificate.
American said that “FAA’s recognition of American as a single operator does not mean change for customers, who will continue to check in for their flights on aa.com, usairways.com, or at American or US Airways ticket counters until later this year when American moves to a single reservations system.”
