The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wants FedEx fined US$689 800 for allegedly not telling pilots they were carrying hazardous cargo in 2009.
The FAA has sent FedEx enforcement letters detailing the allegations, and the company has 30-days to respond, reports Newark's Journal of Commerce.
The agency also said it found the alleged violations during a dangerous goods inspection at a FedEx Express cargo handling facility at Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut, from August 31 to October 1, 2009.
The agency alleged that in 89 instances from June 13 to September, 2009, FedEx "failed to provide pilots-in-command with complete, accurate information on the nature, quantity and weight of hazardous materials loaded on their aircraft."
