United Airlines operated a plane that was “not in airworthy condition” during 23 domestic and international flights, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
On Tuesday, the FAA alleged that United flew the unsafe aircraft for a few weeks in June 2014 and is seeking a $435,000 civil penalty against the airline.
According to the FAA, United replaced a faulty fuel pump switch on a Boeing 787, but did not inspect the aircraft properly after that.
