The DoT detailed the violations and the fines levied against American Airlines Group, Delta Air Lines and Frontier Airlines in documents released Friday. The govt fined American Airlines US$250,000 after determining that the air carrier failed to make timely refunds to passengers in the first half of 2015. Delta agreed to pay $200,000 to resolve the govt's finding that the airline underreported the number of mishandled baggage complaints it received from passengers. The probe also found that Frontier failed to provide disabled passengers with wheelchair assistance as needed to board or exit aircraft and get around the terminal. <br/>
