Georgia Man Indicted For Faking FAA Certificates

Allegedly Charged Dubai Air Wing $630K

Prosecutors say 57-year-old Andrew Kent Anderson is an aviation consultant from Cartersville, GA who was asked by the government of Dubai for his help in negotiating red tape to secure FAA approval of modifications to a Boeing 747 (photo: Kirill Naumenko/Wikipedia) and two Avro jets. They say Anderson did, indeed, deliver certificates for the mods, and was paid $630,000 for his work.

But, they say, the certificates were forgeries. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Anderson has been indicted on nine counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

The alleged fraud occurred between April 2008 and June 2010. Anderson faces up to 20 years in prison and fines up to a quarter-million dollars if convicted.

The paper also reports another defendant, 54-year-old Tod Anderson of Portage, MI, pleaded guilty to related charges on December 14th, and will be sentenced next month. There's no word on whether the two Andersons are related.

The aircraft involved are all owned by the Dubai Air Wing, the airline of the government of Dubai.
