Delta Air Lines has been fined $50,000 by the U.S.Transportation Department and ordered to provide cultural sensitivity training to employees after two incidents involving alleged discrimination against Muslim passengers. The second incident occurred five days later, when a Muslim passenger was removed from a flight from Amsterdam to New York’s Kennedy Airport. The man was booked on a later flight and not subjected to additional security screening, the DOT reported. In a statement to Fox News, Delta denied engaging in discriminatory practices, but agreed there is room for improvement. DOT ordered Delta to enhance its pilot e-training civil rights program in addition to providing cultural sensitivity training to its employees within nine months.
