FAA fines
Corporate Air faced $455,000 in FAA fines for allowing a small airliner to carry passengers on 80 flights despite having an engine that needed repair. The Federal Aviation Administration said that the airline had flown a Beech 1900C without repairing its right engine, which was consuming excessive amounts of oil. It was later determined that the engine was being operated in accordance with the engine manufacturer's specifications for leaks, and its use was deemed legal.
