Absolutely. You can Google it.
The Fly America Act has been in effect for years. It states that anyone
using federal funds to pay for air travel must use U.S. flag carriers.
Cost is not an issue, nor is convenience. There are only a few
exceptions where a foreign carriers may be used.
Hope this is helpful.

Good afternoon fellow RA's -
Is there a federal regulation called the Fly America Act that requires
travel charged to federal grants be done on an american carrier?
I have received this email from a faculty member at my institution:
"Our current program manager's assistant said that she'd never heard of
such a requirement, and checked with someone else there who hadn't
either. She gave us the name of a third person who should be the
definitive word on the subject. This person is currently travelling on
the West Coast so I am emailing her now."
I would appreciate any and all feedback as soon as possible :)
