The U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) has reduced TAP’s fine from one million to approximately €550,000 for delaying the return of €122 million to customers, an airline official told Lusa on Tuesday.
“The fact that the company has already done this [a totalidade dos reembolsos] and in good faith, including passengers who were legally ineligible for a refund, led the Ministry of Transport to reduce the fine imposed to around €550,000,” TAP said.
US authorities have sentenced TAP to pay a €1 million fine for delayed refunds to customers for pandemic-related cancellations worth €122 million, which the airline has already realized it has paid “in full”. “.
