Southwest settles lawsuit over safety issues

November 3, 2009

Southwest Airlines Co. has agreed to settle a shareholder lawsuit that grew out of safety violations at the carrier and will pay the investors’ lawyers $3.5 million.

 

Southwest disclosed the proposed settlement in a regulatory filing made Friday. A hearing on the deal was scheduled for Dec. 7 in state district court in Dallas.

 

The lawsuit was filed in August 2008, after the Federal Aviation Administration announced it would fine Southwest $10.2 million for operating some planes that had not gone through a required inspection for structural soundness. Southwest settled by agreeing to pay a $7.5 million penalty.
