DOT PENALIZES AIR CARRIER FOR FAILURE TO SUBMIT TIMELY REPORTS

March 27, 2019

On February 6, 2019, DOT issued a consent order and a $45,000 compromise penalty against Sky Lease I, Inc. for failure to submit timely and complete traffic and financial reports to the Department.  DOT found that Sky Lease failed to send the proper reports for a period in 2016; it made efforts to improve, but some additional deficiencies were discovered in 2017 in 2018.  The reports were allegedly lost when Sky Lease relocated its operating base from Greensboro, North Carolina to Miami, Florida during the period in question.  The carrier advised DOT it had corrected the problem by centralizing its reporting functions and adding new internal procedures.
