On September 3, 2021, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) announced via press release that it is proposing a civil penalty of $339,716 against two companies, Slice of the 406, LLC and 82 and Sunny, LLC, as well as associated parties, for allegedly conducting illegal charter flights for over a year.
Specifically, FAA has accused the entities of conducting 26 paid passenger-carrying illegal flights, which all took place between July 2017 and November 2018. During these flights, the entities allegedly failed to obtain required FAA and DOT Air Carrier and Operating Certificates, as required to perform commercial operations. FAA also accused the entities of conducting flights without appropriate operations specifications and employing unqualified pilots who had not completed FAA-required training, testing and competency checks.
