About this Order

This consent order concerns the unlawful holding out of direct air transportation by Trinity Air Ambulance International LLC (Trinity), an indirect air carrier specializing in air ambulance services. The conduct in question exceeded the scope of the economic authority conferred in Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) Order 83-1-36 and violated 49 U.S.C. § 41101, the Department’s economic licensing requirement for air carriers. Those violations also constituted an unfair and deceptive trade practice and unfair method of competition in violation of 49 U.S.C. § 41712. This consent order directs Trinity to cease and desist from such further violations and assesses Trinity a compromise civil penalty of $30,000.
