DAL•The US Transportation Department fined Air France and KLM a total of $425,000 for operating more than 130 flights through prohibited Iraqi airspace while carrying Delta Air Lines’ code between early 2022 and 2025.
Air France operated more than 30 flights and KLM more than 100 flights carrying Delta Air Lines’ code through FAA-prohibited airspace over Iraq between early 2022 and 2025, the US Transportation Department said.
The FAA prohibits US operators from flying in foreign-managed airspace where conflict, militant activity or heightened tensions can threaten flight safety. Foreign airlines operating flights with a US airline’s code must follow those prohibitions.
