The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that Lufthansa has agreed to pay a record $4 million penalty for discriminating against Jewish passengers during a May 2022 incident.
According to the DOT's consent order, Lufthansa treated Jewish passengers as one entity, penalizing 128 individuals for the alleged misconduct of a few, violating their rights.
Video evidence from NBC News showed Lufthansa staff stating that 'everyone has to pay for the mistakes of a few,' a directive that was notably targeted at the Jewish passengers.
Passengers expressed confusion and frustration over Lufthansa's decision, which disrupted their travel plans to attend a memorial event, showcasing the severe impact of the airline's actions.
