Part 121 Flag and Supplemental Ops

[JP1]

Could anyone shed any light on what exactly Flag and Supplemental Operations are. Can't seem to find this definition anywhere. Thanks.

i know...

i know that flag ops are international operations for a 121 air carrier. Supplemental "i believe" is for anything other than domestic and flag, and usually entails charter operations that the airline may do. But i'd double check me on the supplemental cuz im not 100% positive. Hope this helps!

Good comments thus far. The detailed definitions can be found in FAR119.3.

Supplemental authorizes a 121 carrier to operate on-demand charter. For example, many regionals fly athletic teams around on their aircraft. Most regionals, nationals, and majors are certified supplemental as well as flag and domestic.
