FAA penalises five firms for alleged violations
[LONDON] The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed a combined total of more than US$430,000 in penalties for five companies on Friday, including FedEx Corp, British Airways (BA) and a unit of American Airlines Group, for alleged violations of safety and hazardous material regulations.
The FAA proposed that BA pay a US$195,000 penalty for allegedly asking its partner American Airlines to ship a highly flammable oxygen generator, forbidden as cargo on passenger flights, from London to Dallas on Aug 14, 2012.
Separately, the FAA recommended a fine of US$65,000 for FedEx for supposedly failing to inspect a package with two paint cans, one of which leaked during transit, in violation of rules on transporting hazardous materials.
