WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Transportation Department said it plans to seek higher penalties for airlines and others who violate consumer protection rules saying they were necessary to deter future violations.
U.S. DOT said in a notice posted on its website it intends to hold airlines, ticket agents and others “accountable and deter future misconduct by seeking higher penalties that would not be viewed as simply a cost of doing business.”
