FAA PROPOSES ANOTHER PENALTY FOR ILLEGAL CHARTERS
April 19, 2020
On April 3, 2020, the FAA took enforcement action against another business for allegedly operating illegal charter operations. The $1,504,800 civil penalty was proposed against B E L Aviation of Odessa, TX. The FAA alleges that between September 2016 and July 2018, B E L conducted 114 unauthorized for-hire flights transporting passengers throughout the United States and that the flights were unauthorized because B E L Aviation did not have an air carrier or air operator certificate. FAA further alleged that the operations were careless or reckless because the pilots who conducted the flights did not meet applicable training requirements for those types of operations.
