February 26, 2020
On January 3, 2020, the FAA proposed to revoke the air carrier certificate of Nantucket Express, LLC (Nantucket Express) for conducting passenger-carrying flights using unqualified pilots and operating unauthorized aircraft. The FAA alleged that between March 2015 and September 2017, Nantucket Express conducted 76 passenger-carrying flights using three aircraft not listed on its air carrier certificate, flown by pilots who were unqualified either by not being listed on Nantucket Express’s air carrier certificate or by failing to pass a required knowledge test and competency and flight checks. Furthermore, the FAA’s investigation concluded that Nantucket Express operated 39 passenger flights with aircraft that had not undergone required safety inspections.
