Why look at the operator's AOC?

An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
