Airline Might Be Fined

Sky Limo air Charter likes to keep you updated with what’s going on with the airline industry, tourism and anything related to travel from baggage fees to new private jets . So our staff recently found out that about a week ago, the Federal Aviation Administration proposed $747,500 in maintenance violation fines against American Airlines. According to the FAA press release from March 12, 2010, the fines stem from a series of three penalties that began two years ago and affected 13 passenger flights. The FAA is proposing a huge civil penalty of $625,000 for a single case that happened in April 2008. The FAA is alleging that American Airlines mechanics diagnosed a problem with a Central Air Data Computer, improperly deferred the maintenance, and then flew the McDonnell Douglas MD-82 jetliner on 10 passenger flights before replacing the computer. For the second case, from March 2008, the FAA is seeking a $75,000 penalty and for the third one, a $87,500 fine.

Full-Body Scanner Arrives At Airport

According to AOLNews.com, just a few days ago, at Chicago O’hare airport, the full-body scanner began screening traveling passengers, producing revealing, nude-like images that made the device so controversial. O’hare International, the nation’s second busiest airport, is the first off 11 airports to receive the imaging technology under a $25 million federal program. Some 20 other U.S. airports already have the scanners. Next to receive this type of technology is Los Angeles International, Port Columbus International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and more. The 11 airports were chosen based on their threat level for a terrorist attack according to a TSA spokesperson. The full-body scanners, according to the article, are designed to find hard-to-detect explosives, like pentaerythritol tetranitrate. The scanners produce an x-ray like sketch of the passengers body that displays everything from concealed weapons to contours of the body. That’s why it’s controversial, some people feel violated. The American Civil Liberties Union say the technology is “ a striking and direct invasion of privacy”.
If you want to feel safe without feeling violated, charter a private flight with Sky Limo. You'll travel on a private jet and experience complete privacy and luxury.
