American Airlines will pay US$22m to settle mail case
American Airlines will pay US$22.1m to settle allegations it falsified times when it handed off mail, including items sent to US soldiers stationed abroad. The Justice Department said Tuesday that American picked up mail for the US Postal Service at 6 locations in the US, and Defense Department and State Department locations overseas. American transferred the mail to foreign postal agencies or other recipients, then submitted electronic scans of bins to show deliveries were made correctly and on time. American says the allegations are several years old and it has invested in new equipment and procedures to handle the mail. In 2016, American disclosed it was under investigation regarding international-mail contracts from 2009 and 2011. <br/>
