FAA proposes US$474,000 civil penalty against Frontier Airlines
The FAA has proposed a US$474,000 civil penalty against Frontier Airlines, alleging the company operated hundreds of flights without required medical supplies. The agency alleges Frontier employees installed emergency medical kits on 11 airplanes lacking either injectable epinephrine, atropine or both. The FAA alleges the airline was made aware July 10, 2017, that its aircraft contained defective emergency medical kits. The next day, Frontier applied for an exemption to allow the airline to continue flying with the medical kits on a temporary basis. FAA granted the exemption Sept 16, 2017. But the FAA alleges the airline operated those 11 aircraft during 787 revenue flights from July 11 to July 27, 2017—after it had become aware of the deficient medical kits, but before the FAA had issued the exemption. <br/>
