FAA Proposes $162,500 Civil Penalty Against Airbus Defence and Space for Alleged HazMat Violations

Press Release

For Immediate Release

Date: April 15, 2016

Contact:Tony Molinaro

Phone:(847) 294-7427; Email: tony.molinaro@faa.gov

You are subscribed to News updates for the Federal Aviation Administration. A new Press Release is now available. We've included a copy of the release in this email.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $162,500 civil penalty against Airbus Defence and Space of Madrid, Spain, for allegedly violating the Hazardous Materials Regulations.

 

The FAA alleges that on May 25, 2015, Airbus knowingly offered an undeclared hazardous material for shipment on a passenger-carrying aircraft from Seville, Spain, to Miami, Fla. The shipment contained two Protective Breathing Equipment Units, each of which contained a chemical oxygen generator. The chemical is an oxidizer, which can cause or enhance the combustion of other materials. The Hazardous Materials Regulations prohibit transporting these devices as cargo on passenger-carrying aircraft. 

 

After arriving in Miami, the shipment was offered undeclared to Federal Express for overnight shipping by air from Miami to Lenexa, Kan.

 

The FAA alleges the shipment was not accompanied by shipping papers indicating the hazardous nature of the contents and was not properly packaged, marked, or labeled. The agency also alleges Airbus failed to provide emergency response information with the shipment.

Airbus has 30 days from receipt of the FAA's enforcement letter to respond to the agency.

New Alternative Jet Fuel Approved

April 14 – New alternative jet fuels are good for the environment and expand energy resources.

News & Update

You are subscribed to News & Updates from the FAA Homepage. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.

New Alternative Jet Fuel Approved

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has played an integral role in development, testing and recent approval of a new alternative, environmentally-friendly, bio-based jet fuel, bringing the total number of these approved products for use in air travel to five. 

 

This new fuel will make air travel more sustainable environmentally and increase our national energy resources. In contrast to traditional petroleum-based fuels, these new alternative fuels can reduce air quality emissions and are renewable.

 

In collaboration with the aviation industry, the FAA approves new renewable jet fuel pathways through ASTM International. The FAA's Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions and Noise (CLEEN) partnership with industry was crucial in completing the necessary steps to support ASTM International approval of this new fuel, known as Alcohol to Jet Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (ATJ-SPK). It is created from an alcohol called isobutanol that is derived from renewable feed stocks such as sugar, corn or forest wastes.

 

Other previously approved fuels include:

 

  • Synthesized Iso-parafins (SIP) which convert sugars into jet fuel.
  • Hydro-processed Esters and Fatty Acids Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (HEFA-SPK), which use fats, oils and greases.
  • Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (FT-SPK) and Fischer-Tropsch Synthetic Kerosene with Aromatics (FT-SKA). Both fuels use various sources of renewable biomass such as municipal solid waste, agricultural wastes and forest wastes, wood and energy crops. These fuels can also be made from fossil resources such as coal and natural gas.

 

These new fuels will help the aviation industry meet its climate change goal of carbon neutral growth. For example, operation with ATJ-SPK could reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a life-cycle basis by up to 85 percent. 

 

As more alternative jet fuels are developed, these products have the potential to be increasingly viable for cost-competitive production and broad use. Another cost-saving goal and FAA focus area is a "drop-in" requirement for alternative fuels. That means the fuels can be used directly in existing aircraft without any modification to engines or other equipment while maintaining an equivalent level of safety and performance to petroleum jet fuels.  

 

In addition to CLEEN, the FAA is working with industry, other government agencies and academia through the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) and the agency's Aviation Sustainability Center (ASCENT), a consortium of research universities.
