Can a foreign air carrier be used (and subsequently charged to a federal award) if it is a “partner” with a U.S. air carrier?
Yes, but only under certain conditions. Travel should always be planned in advance of the trip to ensure that space will be available on an appropriate air carrier. When dealing with travel agents, specify that the air carrier must be of U.S. origin. When no U.S. air carrier is available, be sure to check the criteria for what the government considers “available” and “non-available”. Refer to your sponsor’s guidelines for further information. Most federal links are available on the Research & Sponsored Programs Accounting Web Page.
