 javax.faces.FacesException: Assertion Failed at com.sun.faces.util.Util.doAssert(Util.java:1353) at com.sun.faces.taglib.jsf_core.ViewTag.getComponentType(ViewTag.java:245) 

This indicates that your <f:view> is been duplicated in the include pages. This is illegal. The entire JSF component tree can have only one <f:view> and there can be multiple <f:subview> elements. The <f:view> tag should go in the master page and the <f:subview> should go in the include page.

Rewrite your master page as follows:

<f:view>
    <hx:scriptCollector id="scriptCollectorLandingPage" preRender="#{pc_AirLandingPage.onPageLoadBegin}">
        <h:panelGroup rendered="#{pc_AirLandingPage.blnRenderInitiator}">
            <jsp:include page="AIRSearchViewForms.jsp" flush="false" />
        </h:panelGroup>
        <h:panelGroup rendered="#{pc_AirLandingPage.blnRenderMRORAssignee}">
            <jsp:include page="AIRSearchAssignee.jsp" flush="false" />
        </h:panelGroup>
    </hx:scriptCollector>
</f:view>

Rewrite your AIRSearchAssignee and AIRSearchAssignee JSPs as follows:

<f:subview id="subViewInitiator">
    ... original content here, do NOT use f:view!
</f:subview>

and

<f:subview id="subViewMRORAssignee">
    ... original content here, do NOT use f:view!
</f:subview>
