FAA Fines
[edit] | This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2022) |
October 13, 2010 Corporate Air was facing $455,000 in FAA fines for allowing a small airliner to carry passengers on 80 flights despite an engine that needed repair. The Federal Aviation Administration said Wednesday that the airline flew the Beech 1900C - a 19-passenger twin-engine turboprop plane - without repairing its right engine, which was consuming excessive amounts of oil. It was later determined that the engine was being operated in accordance with the engine manufacturers specifications for leaks and has been deemed legal.
The Billings, Mont., company has scheduled flights in nine states in addition to Montana: Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. It also operates six aircraft repair and maintenance facilities, according to a company website.
