US aviation regulators proposed on Wednesday USD$9.2 million in safety related fines against US Airways and United Airlines.
The Federal Aviation Administration proposed a USD$5.4 million fine against US Airways for allegedly operating eight planes while out of compliance with certain safety directives or its own maintenance programmes.
The proposed USD$3.8 million fine against United alleged the airline flew one plane on more than 200 flights after violating its own maintenance procedures.
Both companies can appeal the fines.
