The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a $104,000 civil penalty against Private Jets, Inc. over alleged Part 135 violations involving pilot training and qualification requirements. The action remains a proposed enforcement case, not a final sanction.
The FAA says the company used pilots on paid commercial flights who allegedly did not meet required training, competency-check, or recordkeeping standards. The case sits within a broader enforcement push aimed at charter operators and business aviation providers, with particular scrutiny on training compliance, documentation, and illegal charter activity.
Private Jets, Inc. operates as a charter and aircraft-management company, where pilot files are central to compliance oversight. The proposed penalty underscores the FAA’s focus on whether operators can prove that pilots are properly trained and qualified before they are assigned to revenue flights.
