Washington: The US transportation regulator imposed civil penalties of $10,000 on Jet AirwaysBSE 1.09 % after the Indian carrier agreed to settle a case related to its failure to provide accurate information on a tarmac delay.
Jet Airways reached a consent settlement with the US Department of Transportation, according to an order issued by the regulator late last month.
The Indian carrier "has paid the fine as per the order", a Jet spokesperson said in a statement in New Delhi.
The incident occurred in 2011 when a dozen airlines were forced to divert due to bad weather to Bradley airport, which was not a regular diversion airport for Jet Airways. The statement said Jet was "unable to disembark its (217) guests at Bradley Airport when the aircraft was on ground due to unforeseen circumstances and the aircraft returned to New York after refuelling and obtaining necessary clearance".
The Department of Transportation order issued on October 22 said, "In order to avoid litigation, Jet Airways has agreed to settle this matter with Enforcement Office and enter into this consent order directing Jet Airways to cease and desist from future similar violations."
