What is considered sensitive under the 14 CFR Part 191 regulations?

Under the 14 CFR Part 191 regulations, sensitive information pertains to data that, if disclosed, could compromise national security or public safety. Security programs and contingency plans are particularly classified as sensitive because they contain detailed procedures and strategies that airlines have in place to safeguard against threats and ensure the safety of their operations and passengers. This type of information is guarded to prevent potential exploitation by malicious actors who may seek to undermine security measures.

On the other hand, while marketing strategies, passenger service information, and financial data like profit margins are important for business operations, they do not fall under the same regulatory classification of sensitivity regarding national security and public safety. Thus, they are not considered sensitive under this specific regulation in the same way that security programs and contingency plans are.
