Under Part 135 operations, can a passenger bring and consume their own alcohol onboard?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only if declared to the operator
• D. Only on flights longer than 6 hours

Answer: (B)

Under Part 135, the operator controls what is served and consumed on board. Alcohol for passengers must come from the operator and be served by the crew under approved policies. This helps the flight crew monitor consumption, maintain safety, and ensure regulatory compliance. Because outside alcohol brought by passengers is not permitted, none of the allowances for bringing your own alcohol apply, regardless of flight duration or declaration to the operator.
