Interstate Air Commerce refers to carriage by aircraft for compensation or hire, or the carriage of mail in commerce between which locations?

• A. Between a place in a state or the District of Columbia and another place in another state or the District of Columbia; between places in the same state through the airspace over outside that state; or between places in the same possession of the United States.
• B. Only between foreign countries.
• C. Only within a single city.
• D. Only for cargo shipments.

Answer: (A)

Interstate air commerce covers carriage by aircraft for compensation or hire, or the carriage of mail, between U.S. locations that are separated by state lines or federal possessions. This includes moving between a point in one state (or the District of Columbia) and a point in another state (or DC); it also covers trips within the same state if the route uses airspace outside that state (meaning the flight passes through airspace over other states on the way). It also includes movements between locations within a U.S. possession. So it’s not limited to foreign countries, not restricted to within a single city, and not limited to cargo—it applies to passenger service and mail as well as shipments, whenever the route involves different states or U.S. possessions.
