The US authorities have condemned the airline, "Delta Airline," a fine of 50 thousand dollars after accusations of discriminatory practices against Muslim passengers.

In a decision taken by mutual consent to find a solution to this dispute with the passengers concerned, the US Department of Transportation indicated that it was found that Delta was "exercising discriminatory actions" and that it had violated anti-discrimination laws by requiring three Muslims to get out of the plane.

In an incident on July 26, 2016, a couple were expelled from a company plane at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, because one of the passengers told a flight attendant that their behavior "bothered him very much." The wife was wearing a veil while the man hidden something in his watch, the passenger said.

For her part, the hostess pointed out that she saw the man sending phone messages containing the word "God".

The pilot then discussed with the company’s security team, who confirmed that the couple were Americans on their way back to the United States, and there was no report of their right. However, the pilot refused to allow them to return on the flight.

And the Ministry of Transport considered that the pilot of the plane did not follow the safety standards of the company and it was found that "without the religion of the couple, the airline would not have brought them down, and would not have prevented them from boarding again."

The second incident concerned a traveler who was on a flight from Amsterdam to New York on July 31, 2016. Passengers and flight attendants complained about him, but the security officer did not find anything suspicious, while the security team verified that there was no report of the man, though The captain decided to take down the passenger and search his seat.

The Ministry of Transport considered that the pilot of the plane did not follow the safety procedures, and the decision to land the passenger was "discriminatory."

Delta Airline did not admit that it pursued discriminatory practices, but "did not contest that the two incidents could have been handled differently."

The company says it has improved safety measures since the two incidents were recorded, with the aim of "being more cooperative and balanced."
