FAA Proposes $1M Penalty for Illegal Charter Ops
Weathervane Aviation Services in Massachusetts operated 1,400 illegal charter flights, the FAA alleges.

The FAA has proposed a $1 million civil penalty against Weathervane Aviation Services for allegedly operating about 1,400 illegal charter flights between May 9, 2016, and Aug. 31, 2018. The flights by the Westport, Massachusetts-based company were illegal because Weathervane didn’t have an air carrier certificate and they were flown by unqualified pilots, the FAA alleged.
