Summary

On January 17, 2007, FAA debarred Eric Selby, former regional vice president of Skysites, Inc., for 15 months for his role in a corruption scheme related to FAA-regulated airport concessions contracts at Philadelphia International Airport. In 1998, the City of Philadelphia entered into concession contracts worth approximately $15 million with Skysites, Inc. for advertising at the airport. Selby pleaded guilty in March 2006 to conspiracy and wire fraud charges. He admitted that he participated in a scheme to have Skysites illegally fund $30,000 in contributions to political action committees that supported the Mayor of Philadelphia in order to extend Skysites contract. Selby was sentenced to pay $10,833 in restitution and $3,200 in criminal fines and serve three years probation.
