Given the requirement for a valid aircraft registration originates at the ICAO Annex 7 and Convention Article 29 levels, the FAA is merely enforcing the US laws and regulations to cover that international requirement. So any liability would fall to Southern or the original owner depending how their aircraft lease or operating agreement is written.
