American Airlines (NYSE:AMR) took the biggest dive of the day. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposed over $1 million in fines against the carrier, for alleged safety violations, according to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation. The proposed fines cover four separate instances where the FAA alleges that American was negligent in either maintaining aircraft or following proper maintenance procedures.
The fines come only weeks after the FAA commented that it was considering a record high $20 million in penalties against American. American Airlines stated it is reviewing the fines and will meet with the FAA to discuss the situation.
