Charter operator Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter has filed a class-action complaint against Bombardier and its Learjet subsidiary, Turbine Engine Specialists, as well as GE Aerospace and Duncan Aviation, in relation to the Feb. 9, 2024 accident in Naples, Florida that killed two Hop-A-Jet pilots. The pilots made an emergency landing in their Bombardier Challenger 604 on the southbound lane of highway I-75 while on approach to Naples Airport (KAPF) after they reported a dual engine failure. Two passengers and a Hop-A-Jet flight attendant survived.
According to the complaint, “This Federal Class Action is brought: (1) to help organize and consolidate all actions resulting from this GE disaster, (2) provide an avenue for Hop-A-Jet (and plaintiffs) to recover any and all of their direct damages (that are now in the hundreds of millions of dollars) from those responsible, and (3) finally require GE to provide adequate notice to all purchasers of these specific family of GE engines, so another tragedy can be avoided.”
