New York CNN —Delta Air Lines will pay tens of millions of dollars to settle a class-action lawsuit from customers who said the airline wouldn’t refund their canceled flights in the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The total sum of claims is $27 million, and Delta will also pay 7% interest in cash or credits on top of the refund.
In a statement Friday, Delta said it does not admit to wrongdoing or breach of contract in the settlement.
“Since the beginning of 2020, Delta refunded over 11 million tickets totaling $6 billion, of which 20% took place in 2022,” a company spokesperson said.
The ticket had to have been for a departing flight between March 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021, that Delta canceled.
