The first domestic flights in Spain were operated on behalf of Air Berlin and Iberia by the Spanish airline Air Nostrum. In both cases, those flights were delayed (45 and 20 minutes) which resulted in the passengers missing their second flight to Germany. The passengers finally reached their final destination with a delay of more than 3 hours (namely a delay of approximately 4 hours for the flight booked with Air Berlin and a delay of 13 hours for the flight booked with Iberia).

  • Aviation Regulatory Update Digest
    January 2018 AVIATION REGULATORY UPDATE DELTA PREVAILS OVER DOT ENFORCEMENT OFFICE IN DISPUTED CONSENT ORDER CASE A DOT Administrative Law Judge recently issued an order in favor of Delta’s challenge of a DOT Notice of Enforcement Proceeding and Proposed Assessment of Civil Penalties for the carrier’s alleged violation of DOT’s codeshare disclosure rule (14 C.F.R. 257.5(b)), the prohibition against unfair and deceptive trade practices (49 U.S.C. § 41712(c)), and the violation of a prior cease and desist order that prohibited Delta from failing to comply with the Department’s codeshare disclosure requirements. The proposed civil penalty was for $660,000. Delta refused to pay the penalty, and DOT filed a formal enforcement complaint under 14 C.F.R. Part 302. This is quite unusual as most carriers choose to follow the consent order process rather than risk formal litigation with DOT. The penalty resulted from a lengthy investigation by DOT’s enforcement office, during which DOT analysts called the Delta reservations line, pretending to be passengers interested in booking one‐way flights on a codeshare partner. If the DL reservation agent failed to disclose that the flight was operated by a codeshare partner, DOT noted a violation even though no tickets were purchased. Delta argued, and the ALJ agreed, that the applicable statute and regulation specify ticket purchase or booking as the triggering event for codeshare disclosure. Because there were no tickets purchased during DOT’s investigation, the ALJ determined that Delta’s actions could not have violated the codeshare disclosure rule and thus the penalty was improper.
