JetBlue Airways is being fined $2 million for "chronic flight delays," with half that amount going to compensate affected passengers, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced Friday.

JetBlue is getting hit with a $2 million penalty for chronically late flights. The Transportation Department said Friday that half the money will go to passengers who were delayed on flights along four routes on the East Coast between summer 2022 and late 2023.

JetBlue has agreed to pay a $2 million penalty after federal regulators charged the U.S. carrier with operating multiple chronically delayed flight routes.

JetBlue Airways has received a multi-million dollar fine after operating multiple chronically delayed flights at several large airports throughout the U.S., including John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens.
