The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a civil penalty of $351,000 against Creamer Pilot Services of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The agency alleges the company conducted unauthorized passenger-carrying operations during a period spanning late 2021 through late 2022.
According to the FAA press release issued Monday, October 19, 2026, in Washington, the proposed fine stems from two distinct sets of operational violations. The agency claims Creamer operated 31 passenger flights using three aircraft that were not listed on its Operations Specifications. These specific violations took place on various dates between October 2021 and July 2022.
In a separate set of allegations, the FAA states that Creamer conducted six additional passenger-carrying flights on two aircraft that were properly on its Operations Specifications. However, the agency alleges these flights traveled outside the 48 contiguous United States without authorization. These geographic violations occurred on various dates between April 2022 and November 2022.
In total, the FAA identifies 37 violations. The agency alleges that Creamer conducted all of these operations knowingly, carelessly, and recklessly.
