One of Britain’s biggest airlines has been fined almost £1 million by the U.S. government over claims it failed to pay refunds for cancelled flights during COVID-19.

In legal documents from the U.S. Transportation Department, British Airways was said to have failed to “provide timely refunds to passengers” for abandoned or rescheduled flights to and from the country during the pandemic.
