British Airways has been fined almost £1 million by the US government over claims it failed to pay refunds for cancelled flights.
The US Transportation Department said in a legal document the airline did not “provide timely refunds to passengers” for abandoned or rescheduled flights to and from the country during the coronavirus pandemic.
British Airways said it had “acted lawfully at all times” after being hit with the 1.1 million US dollar (£878,000) fine on Thursday, and refuted the claims.
