The U.S. Transportation Department is intensifying its oversight of flight delays, filing a lawsuit against Southwest Airlines for operating chronically delayed flights, disrupting passengers' travel.
Pete Buttigieg emphasized that airlines must ensure realistic flight schedules. The government's enforcement actions demonstrate a commitment to uphold passenger protections.
Southwest's operations allegedly resulted in 180 disruptions over five months, raising concerns about accountability for schedule reliability and impacting traveler experience directly.
Frontier Airlines was fined $650,000 for delays, indicating the Transportation Department's heightened scrutiny on airlines and their duty to not engage in chronic delay practices.
