Aviation Contractor Agrees To Pay Over Allegations Involving Government Parts
A California-based aviation contractor, Frazier Aviation, has agreed to a $4.9 million settlement over allegations involving the sale of unauthorized aircraft parts to the US government. The case, which was brought under the False Claims Act, centered on the company’s use of unauthorized subcontractors and the improper identification of parts. The settlement was reached after a whistleblower lawsuit was filed, and the whistleblower will receive a portion of the recovery. The case highlights the importance of compliance in the aviation supply chain, particularly for military aircraft. This development was reported by Aero-News Network.
