Passenger Inquiry

Before accepting checked baggage or carry-on baggage on Gridiron aircraft, a Gridiron agent will query each person if they have restricted items in their baggage, carry-ons, or as cargo. 

Passengers will be responsible for the disposition of hazardous materials and TSA-prohibited items.

 

Cargo

Gridiron does not accept hazardous cargo for transport. It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that no hazardous cargo, per 49 CFR is offered for shipment by Gridiron. If unauthorized hazardous cargo shipments are made, Gridiron is required to report the shipment to the FAA Hazardous Materials Program Office.

If customers have questions about the carriage of cargo, they may contact the Gridiron Operations Control Center at (817) 231-8084 or email operations@gridiron-air.com.

 

Notification to Passengers

Passengers are notified via the Charter Agreement, Gridiron Air website, and signage is posted at Passenger Check-in / Screening.
