Delta fined for not complying with FAA regulations

Posted:

WASHINGTON (WKOW) -- Delta Airlines is facing some penalties for allegedly flying planes that did not meet Federal Aviation Administration standards.

The fines involving maintenance infractions total almost $1 million.

The first is for failing to repair a chip in the nose radome. That is the cone on an airplane that protects a plane's radar antenna.

The FAA says Delta also failed to repair a broken cockpit floodlight socket.

The airline has 30 days from when they got the FAA's enforcement letters to respond to the agency.
