Southwest Airlines Agrees to Pay $2.8 Million to Settle Action Alleging Federal Aviation Administration Safety Violations
“The Justice Department believes the settlement agreement with Southwest Airlines Co. will provide meaningful improvements in safety and compliance and further ensure the integrity of FAA air safety regulations,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department’s Civil Division.
“Safety depends on compliance with our regulations,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. “This agreement provides strong incentives for Southwest to take specific steps to address the compliance problems that the FAA investigations uncovered.”
This case was handled by the Civil Division’s Federal Programs Branch, with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Washington, the FAA’s Office of General Counsel and the FAA’s Northwest Mountain Region.
The lawsuit is captioned United States v. Southwest Airlines Co., 14-cv-1693-JCC (W.D. Wa.). The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only; there has been no determination of liability.
