USA: 333 Operators list update

australia333

Time to count the numbers again, 3148 companies with an FAA 333. Not all of them based in the USA as the map above shows. Australia in the form of Aerolens who will be operating an Inspire 1 join a small list of overseas companies making their way to the New World. Canada, UK and Switzerland are also represented.

What can’t be seen in the diagram below is that the FAA has increased the rate of approval over the last 30 days. It will show up next time but in a rolling 30 day period to the 15th of Feb more than 400 new 333’s have been approved. Our interactive map has been updated link above.

The 3000th 333 according to us was (drumroll)
