Fleet Aviation LLC, a charter-flight company servicing East Coast vacation destinations including the Hamptons on New York’s Long Island, filed to liquidate in bankruptcy, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Fleet Aviation, which flies out of New York’s Westchester County Airport, provides service to East Hampton and Montauk on Long Island, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts and Cape May in New Jersey.The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan sued Fleet Aviation in August, saying that the company used an unqualified pilot on dozens of flights in 2008 and 2009 in violation of federal aviation regulations. The company agreed to pay a $40,000 fine to settle the case, according to court papers.
