A landmark ruling has been issued against Lufthansa, Germany's largest airline. The US Department of Transportation has imposed a record $4 million fine for the company's discriminatory treatment of Jewish passengers.
Lufthansa has been held accountable for a blatant act of discrimination. The DOT said in a consent order that the airline was fined for refusing to allow 128 Jewish passengers, wearing traditional attire, onto a flight in May 2022.
