American Airlines has been fined $50 million by the federal government after an investigation revealed multiple violations of regulations protecting disabled passengers, particularly those who use wheelchairs. The findings showed the airline mishandled and damaged thousands of wheelchairs and failed to provide adequate assistance, prompting Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg to emphasize the end of tolerating such poor treatment. The fine requires American Airlines to invest $25 million to improve wheelchair handling and infrastructure.
