Delta to pay $40,000 to DOT for leaving 'Delta Connection' name off tickets on feeder carriers


MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Transportation Department is hitting Delta Air Lines with a $40,000 penalty for failing to tell some customers that their flights would be operated under the "Delta Connection" name.

Some Delta flights are operated by feeder airlines with the "Delta Connection" name painted on the plane. Delta's own website, as well as other ticket vendors, correctly showed the airline operating the flight, but did not tell travelers it would be under the "Delta Connection" name. The government says the mistake could confuse travelers.

The order on Friday also covers Northwest Airlines, which Delta bought in 2008.


Delta fixed the problem when it found out about it, and agreed to the compromise penalty. Another $40,000 will be due if Delta does it again.

Good to see the Feds have their collective eye on the ball. God knows they have solved all of the major safety issues affecting commercial aviation.

If a passenger's flight is on an "outsourced" flight, they should know that.

If they fly anywhere in the US Domestically, there's a More than a 55% chance it will be on an "outsource provider" RJ. Any airline, not just DAL. Sad state of this industry.

Got Scope?

Yep- RA pays DS more than that to clear the nasal debris from his left nostril.

-Seriously. The G.O. spends more on Gen Lee's helmet and drool bib than 40k.

For now. Wait to those Volaris A320 start flying around with a SWA code. Hope your scope language is water tight.

Typical corrupt government crap!! Why are the scum bags at the DOT getting the 40 grand and not the customers who were on those flights in which they were not informed?

40k is barely two days pay for the CEO. Maybe he'll have to sell one of the yachts?
