Aviation experts are speaking out over repeated Allegiant Air safety concerns, Pinellas County's largest air carrier.
Dozens of Allegiant Air flights have been involved in emergency landings or diversions in recent months, brining accusations the airline is struggling to manage maintenance of its aircraft.
Jim Brauchle, a former Air Force pilot and noted aviation attorney, says the kinds of problems Allegiant Air has faced are danger
A month earlier, a plane was involved in an emergency that pilots say could have been disastrous. The FAA says improper maintenance on a part by Allegiant's contractor led to the plane lifting from the ground prematurely. Allegiant's contractor was also sanctioned with a warning letter.
Brauchle said the FAA needs to take more serious action.
