Full text of Us Code United States Code § 47522 — Definitions, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 47522. Definitions
In this subchapter—
(1) "air carrier", "air transportation", and "United States" have the same meanings given those terms in section 40102(a) of this title.

| Revised Section | Source (U.S. Code) | Source (Statutes at Large) |
|---|---|---|
| 47522 | 49 App.:2157(h). | Nov. 5, 1990, Pub. L. 101–508, §9308(h), 104 Stat. 1388–384. |
The definitions are made applicable to all of subchapter II, rather than only to those provisions based on 49 App.:2157 as in the source provisions, because the defined terms appear in several sections of subchapter II and it is assumed they are intended to have the same meaning in each of those sections.
