FAA Proposes $218,700
Civil Penalty Against Resorts World Companies for Allegedly Conducting Unauthorized
Air Carrier Operations
�
ATLANTA
� The U.S. Department of Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
proposes a $218,700 civil penalty against Resorts World Aviation and Resorts
World Bimini for allegedly flying passengers without an FAA air carrier
certificate or with pilots who had not been trained and checked for commercial
operations.
�
The
FAA alleges that Resorts World Aviation provided Resorts World Bimini casino
players and other guests with nine for-hire flights between July 10 and July 19,
2015. �The flights were between the Miami
area and Bimini in the Bahamas.
�
The
companies operated the flights when they did not hold the required FAA
certificate to carry passengers for hire or the economic authorization from the
DOT to operate as an air carrier, the FAA alleges. �Additionally, the pilots flying the planes had
not undergone required training and proficiency checks to conduct the
operations involved, the agency alleges. �The FAA alleges that the companies advertised to
perform the operations despite not having FAA authorization for the operations.
�
The
companies have asked to meet with the FAA to discuss the case.
