What is required of airports currently certificated under 14 CFR Part 139?
Airport operators currently certificated under Part 139 are not required to reapply for an Airport Operating Certificate. The FAA will issue new Part 139 Airport Operating Certificates to all current certificate holders, as appropriate. For most current Airport Operating Certificate holders, this will involve updating existing Airport Certification Manuals (ACMs) to incorporate several new elements. The remaining certificate holders may be required to comply with certain requirements for the first time or to extend existing Part 139 services to cover additional air carrier operations. These airport operators who have not received FAA approval for their ACMS may continue to serve air carrier operations as they currently do until the deadlines for submitting new or revised ACMs to the FAA, at which time the FAA will contact them to discuss whether additional action is needed and to what extent air carrier operations can continue.
