REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsAug 28 (Reuters) - The United States Transportation Department (USDOT) on Monday fined American Airlines (AAL.O) $4.1 million for unlawfully keeping thousands of passengers on the tarmac for hours, the largest-ever penalty for violating the rule. On one of the 43 flights, passengers were not provided with food and water as required. “This is the latest action in our continued drive to enforce the rights of airline passengers,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said. While accepting this compromise settlement "American respectfully disagrees that certain of these tarmac delays warrant enforcement action under the extremecircumstances presented," it added.
