United Continental Holdings received FAA approval Wednesday for a single operating certificate, the final regulatory step integrating United Airlines (UA) and Continental Airlines (CO).
The FAA has proposed a civil penalty of $180,000 against Evergreen International Airlines, of McMinnville, Ore., for allegedly operating aircraft on seven flights from Aug. 23 to Sept. 19, 2009, when the pilots on those flights had not been trained in familiarization flights in both Class I and Class II airspace. The FAA alleged Evergreen provided only the Class I familiarization flights on seven flights. Evergreen has 30 days to respond to the agency.
