MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - The U.S. Attorney's Office for West Tennessee announced Tuesday that the federal government has filed a lawsuit against FedEx for FAA violations.
The lawsuit stems from allegations that FedEx continued to use refrigerated cargo containers that were in violation of Federal Aviation Administration standards after they were notified by the FAA on March 20, 2008. The containers were used past that date for approximately three weeks on 124 flights.
FedEx faces over $1.5 million in civil penalties.
