FAA PROPOSES CIVIL PENALTY AGAINST SKY LEASE I, INC.

February 26, 2021

On January 8, 2021 the FAA proposed a $422,500 civil penalty against Sky Lease I, Inc., for allegedly operating two Boeing 747 airplanes on dozens of flights without required avionics equipment.

Between June 21, 2020 and July 12, 2020, the company operated the aircraft on 56 flights within the U.S. and to and from countries including Bolivia, China, Canada, Colombia, and Peru when they lacked the required version of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out system.  Sky Lease I has 30 days to respond.
