The Transportation Department announced a $2 million penalty against JetBlue for chronic delays, marking a significant enforcement of accountability for airlines' scheduling practices.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized that chronic flight delays are unfair to travelers, stating that today's action signals to the airline industry the expectation for reliability in flight schedules.
Half of the $2 million penalty will compensate affected passengers, underscoring the D.O.T.'s commitment to ensuring fair treatment and healthy competition in commercial aviation.
The D.O.T. warned JetBlue about persistent delays, indicating that the airline is legally obliged to avoid chronic delays, which disrupt travel reliability.
