Atlas has reportedly agreed to a USD95,000 payment in full and final compromise of the FAA's complaint, following the terms of the settlement and without admitting or denying any violation of the FAA required maintenance requirements.
AAWW confirmed that it works under the oversight of, and in coordination with, the FAA to ensure it meets or exceeds the FAA's regulatory requirements and procedures and confirmed its commitment to operating safe aircraft. It claimed the alleged incident was a one-time event which occurred two years ago and does not reflect the company's continuing commitment to high levels of aircraft safety and maintenance.
