SkyWest Airlines, Inc. Order 2006-8-1 Issued and Served August 7, 2006 This consent order concerns reporting inaccuracies that constitute violations of 49 U.S.C. 41708 and the flight delay causation requirements in Part 234 of the Department's regulations by SkyWest Airlines, lnc., a certificated air carrier that operates large aircraft. This order directs SkyWest to cease and desist from future similar violations of Part 234 and the cited statutory provision and assesses the carrier $25,000 in compromise of civil penalties that might otherwise be assessed against the carrier for such violations. The Department uses the carrier reports of flight delay causation to analyze the effects of air transportation industry policy initiatives, to allocate airport development funds, to forecast traffic, and to develop airport and airway traffic policy. A carrier's failure to accurately file its reports, therefore, may among other things prevent the Department from making fully informed decisions. By: Rosalind Knapp |
