WASHINGTON - American Airlines was fined $1 million and Delta Air Lines Inc $750,000 for violating federal rules barring lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports, the U.S. Transportation Department said on Thursday.
Of the fine assessed to American, $450,000 was credited to the airline for compensating passengers. The Transportation Department cited 13 tarmac delays since December 2015 at American Airlines and blamed “gate mismanagement” for two delayed flights. American Airlines spokeswoman Shannon Gilson said the delays were the result of “exceptional weather events dating as far back as 2015.” The company disputed that gate mismanagement was to blame for two delays.
The Transportation Department cited about a dozen tarmac delays at Delta since 2017 and said passengers on seven flights at Atlanta were not allowed to deplane for hours even though there was “no safety, security or Air Traffic Control reason for not doing so.”
