The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed an USD869,125 civil penalty against Compass Airlines (United States of America) (Minneapolis St. Paul International) for allegedly failing to provide flight crews with complete weather information.

The regulator alleged in a statement last week that the Washington Dulles-based capacity provider conducted 47 flights between May 18, 2015, and June 19, 2015, without correctly using an approved system for obtaining weather forecasts and reports of adverse weather. Specifically, the FAA contends that Compass flew to and from Monterrey Mariano Escobedo, Mexico, without the required Mexican Significant Meteorological Information in its flight weather packages.

The FAA further alleged that Compass did not notify its operations personnel about potentially hazardous meteorological conditions.

Compass has thirty days from receiving the FAA’s civil penalty letter to respond.

Compass operates a total of fifty-six E175s for and on behalf of American Airlines (AA, Dallas/Fort Worth) and Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) under their American Eagle and Delta Connection banners.
