DOT said it has fined WK Travel, Inc., also known as OneTravel, $95,000 for violating the department's rules on disclosure of code-share flights and ordered the ticket agent to cease and desist from further violations. The consent order is part of an ongoing effort by DOT to ensure that ticket agents comply with the code-share disclosure rules.
In this case, DOT's Aviation Enforcement Office made telephone calls to the call centers of several websites operated by WK Travel during January and February 2013 and inquired about booking certain flights. During these calls, the reservations agents failed to disclose that the flights were being operated under code-share arrangements.
The consent order is available at www.regulations.gov, docket DOT-OST-2014-0001.
