In two separate rulings, the Federal Aviation Administration has levied a
$50,000 fine and another
$263,750 fine against Southern Airways Express (Mokulele Airlines' sister-airline) for safety violations. The first fine was assessed for a weight and balanced incident in June 2024, that resulted in a tail-strike as the Cessna C208B Caravan was pushed back. The second fine was assessed for a faulty auto-pilot that lasted through 29 flights in April 2025, before the issue was addressed.
Both FAA news releases did not specify the location for the incidents and aircrafts involved. Southern Airways Express has 30 days to respond to these notices.
The Caravan above is wearing Southern's base livery, that was transferred to Mokulele last year.
