US fines Volaris $300,000 for violating tarmac delay rules
The U.S. Transportation Department said Wednesday it had fined Mexican carrier Volaris Airlines $300,000 for violating federal law on airport tarmac delays.

The department said in 2021 and 2022, Volaris allowed two flights to remain on the tarmac for lengthy periods without providing passengers an opportunity to deplane.
