CONCORD — The former legal counsel for Pease-based Boston and Maine Airways, the successor to Pan Am, has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to making false statements to the U.S. Department of Transportation.
U.S. Attorney Tom Colantuono announced Tuesday that John Nadolny, 48, of Rye, “knowingly submitted a balance sheet and a bank statement to DOT that falsely exaggerated Boston and Maine Airway’s financial condition.”

Nadolny pleaded guilty to inflating Boston and Maine’s financial footing in an effort to win approval to purchase seven Boeing 727 airplanes in April 2003. Nadolny’s actions, “could have influenced DOT’s decision to grant the applications,” the U.S. Attorney said.
Boston and Maine Airways corrected Nadolny’s false reports after bringing them to the attention of federal authorities, Colantuono said.
“The sentence that was imposed in this case demonstrates that severe penalties will be imposed whenever anyone knowingly provides material false information to a government agency,” Colantuono said.
