A Miami-based air transport company pleaded guilty to knowingly offering hazardous materials to an air carrier. The freight forwarder was accused of intentionally loading pallets of hazardous materials including flammable liquids, paints and solvents, and concealing the contents to the air carrier. The company will pay a criminal fine totaling more than $100,000, and thanks for the action of the FAA, a potentially fatal flight was averted.
