The US Department of Justice has dropped a lawsuit against Southwest Airlines (LUV) that accused the carrier of running consistently delayed flights in 2022, multiple media reports said Friday.
The Department of Transportation filed the case in January, targeting two routes, one between Chicago Midway and Oakland, California, and another between Baltimore and Cleveland, often late because of unrealistic schedules, the reports said.
"The two flights at issue occurred years ago when the industry faced unprecedented challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and were delayed due to issues outside of Southwest's control in numerous cases," Southwest told multiple media outlets.
