America intends to fine one of the airlines two million dollars…this is why

On Friday, the US Department of Transportation revealed its intention to impose a fine of two million dollars on JetBlue Airways.
This comes due to the continuous delays in its flights along the eastern coast, and half of the value of this fine will be directed as compensation to passengers whose flights were delayed.

Fine for flying in America

The Ministry explained that this is the first time that it has imposed a fine on the airline due to the continuous delay of its flights on specific routes.
She blamed this on “unrealistic scheduling” on the part of JetBlue.
US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said: “Continued illegal flight delays make air travel unreliable for travelers.

The aviation industry in America

He added: “Today’s action alerts the entire aviation industry that we expect its flight schedules to reflect the actual reality.”
The ministry, at the forefront of US President Joe Biden’s administration, criticizes airlines for poor service and increased fees on travelers.
JetBlue said the government, which runs the air traffic control system, bears part of the responsibility for the flight delays.
