A bankruptcy judge has held the chief executive officer of defunct regional airline FlyGLO LLC in contempt, finding that the executive, a son of a prominent Louisiana-based trial lawyer involved in the BP oil spill litigation, hampered an aircraft company’s efforts to reclaim planes that it had leased to the airline.

The ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Jerry Brown in New Orleans, issued April 12, held FlyGLO CEO Calvin “Trey” Fayard III personally in contempt and ordered him to pay sanctions just shy of $106,000. The judge found that Fayard had made it difficult for Alandia Ab, an aircraft leasing company based in Finland that was FlyGLO’s largest unsecured creditor in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, to recover three Saab 340 airplanes that FlyGLO rented for its regional airline.
