Honolulu Air Carrier Faces Allegations of Lax Documentation, Maintenance Procedures
The FAA has proposed the revocation of Honolulu-based Rhoades Aviation Inc.’s air carrier certificate, citing “numerous alleged safety violations”. In an announcement earlier this week, the agency alleged that Rhoades has failed to conduct itself with the appropriate level of professionalism, from lapses in recordkeeping, airworthiness, and operations. Rhoades Aviation, Inc appears to be the operator of the the Hawaiian cargo line Transair, as well as the air charter and tour operation Transair Global. The outfit gained some attention in 2021 when one of their 737-200s experienced an engine failure and ditched in the sea south of Oahu. <
