BRITISH Airways and Iberia Airlines have agreed to pay a fine of US$5.8 million for allegedly falsely reporting the times they transferred possession of US mail to foreign postal operators under contract with the US Postal Service, according to the US Justice Department.
The US Postal Service contracted with British Airways and Iberia to take possession of mail receptacles at six locations across the nation, or at various Defence and State department locations overseas, and then deliver that mail to a number of international and domestic destinations, American Shipper reported.
To receive payment, the airlines were required to submit electronic scans of the mail receptacles to the US Postal Service reporting the time the mail was delivered at the designated destinations.
It was alleged by the US government that the scans submitted by the two airlines falsely reported the time the airlines transferred possession of the mail in violation of the False Claims Act.
