US fines Air France, KLM over flights in prohibited Iraqi airspace

By Reuters News

WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The US Transportation Department said Friday it was fining Air France and KLM AIRF.PA a total of $425,000 for operating dozens of flights in prohibited Iraqi airspace while carrying Delta Air Lines' DAL.N code share.

The Federal Aviation Administration prohibits flight operations by US operators in foreign-managed airspace where conflict, militant activity, or heightened tensions can threaten the safety of flights, and foreign airlines operating flights with a US airline’s code must abide by these prohibitions.

Air France operated more than 30 flights and KLM more than 100 flights carrying the Delta code through FAA-prohibited airspace over Iraq between early 2022 and 2025, USDOT said.
