You’re watching the Financial New Network at fnno.com, I’m Julia Sun. The Federal Aviation Administration is fining Delta Air Lines up to $1 million on two separate safety violations. Delta made more than 800 flights on one of its Airbus A320’s in the second half of 2010 with a broken light in the cockpit. Regulation required the light to be repaired within 10 days from the initial damage and Delta did not do so. FAA is proposing a fine of $300,000. FAA release also states that in Feb, 2010, a Boeing 737 aircraft belonged to Delta made 20 flights after the plane failed the FAA inspection. FAA is proposing $687,500 in penalty for this indiscretion. Delta will have 30 days to respond and is allowed to present counter evidence.
