A lawsuit filed on 15 January by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) against Southwest Airlines for operating "chronically delayed flights" has been dismissed, a 16 May court filing shows. The notice of voluntary dismissal was submitted to the US District Court for the Northern District of California by Patrick Robbins, acting United States attorney, and Michael Keough, assistant United States attorney. A DOT investigation had found that Southwest operated two chronically delayed services – one between Chicago Midway and Oakland, and another between Baltimore and Cleveland – which resulted in 180 flight disruptions for passengers between April and August 2022. "We appreciate the DOT's decision to abandon its lawsuit against Southwest, which we believe is the correct result in this case," Southwest says in a statement. "The two flight issues occurred years ago when the industry faced unprecedented challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic and were delayed due to issues outside of Southwest's control in numerous cases. Since the pandemic we have made significant investments in our operation, which in 2024 provided our customers with best-in-class operational reliability." On the same day the DOT launched its lawsuit against Southwest, it announced it had fined Frontier Airlines $650,000 in civil penalties for operating chronically delayed flights from April to August 2022 and from December 2022 to April 2023. Earlier in January 2025, it had imposed a $2 million penalty on JetBlue Airways for operating multiple chronically delayed flights.

India's Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has revoked the security clearance of Celebi Airport Services India, effectively stopping its operations at Mumbai, Delhi and seven other airports around India. An order dated 15 May shows that the clearance was "revoked with immediate effect in the interest of National Security". Minister of state for civil aviation Murlidhar Mohol says in a post on X that the government had "received requests from across India to ban Celebi NAS Airport Services India Ltd, a Turkish company operating ground handling services at Indian airports." There have been several calls to boycott companies linked with Turkiye in India after the country expressed support for Pakistan during its recent conflict with India. No details of a specific national security threat posed have been released by New Delhi, however a statement from civil aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu says that the civil aviation ministry is " fully committed to ensuring that passenger convenience, cargo operations, and service continuity remain unaffected". Soon after the order was issued, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) issued a statement saying that it had "formally ended its association with Celebi entities responsible for ground handling and cargo operations" at the facility. In response to the revocation, Celebi Aviation India released a statement in which it outlined that it is 65% owned by "international institutional investors from across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates and Western Europe". It also refuted social media posts that allege security concerns at its air cargo terminal in Delhi, adding that it remains "in full compliance with Indian aviation, national security and tax regulations".
