  • JetBlue Airways has been fined $2 million by the Department of Transportation for operating consistently delayed flights.
  • The investigation revealed that the airline misled customers with unrealistic flight schedules on routes from New York to Florida, and additional destinations in North Carolina and Connecticut.
  • The DOT labeled these practices as "deceptive and anticompetitive" and is exploring similar issues with other airlines.
  • Half of the fine will go to the U.S. Treasury, while the rest will be set aside for compensating affected passengers, with each receiving at least $75.
  • JetBlue acknowledged the importance of reliable travel and suggested that improvements to the U.S. air traffic control system are necessary to enhance overall reliability.
