The US Federal Aviation Administration has alleged that Resorts World Aviation provided Resorts World Bimini casino players and other guests with nine for-hire flights between July 10 and July 19, 2015. The flights were between the Miami area and Bimini in the Bahamas.
The companies operated the flights when they did not hold the required FAA certificate to carry passengers for hire or the economic authorization from the DOT to operate as an air carrier, the FAA alleges. Additionally, the pilots flying the planes had not undergone required training and proficiency checks to conduct the operations involved, the agency alleges.
