(ABC 6 News) — The U.S. Department of Transportation says it is prepared to take airlines to court over flight delays.
The agency has filed a lawsuit against Southwest, accusing the airline of illegally operating chronically delayed flights and disrupting passengers’ travel plans.
The Department of Transportation also fined Frontier Airlines $650,000 in civil penalties for consistent flight delays.
This announcement comes less than two weeks after fining JetBlue $2 million for chronic delays.
