The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has fined Piedmont Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Airlines, $15,625 in the wake of a horrific, December 2022 accident in which a ramp worker was killed on the job.

Boeing delivered the first direct 767-300 freighter to an African carrier with a brand new plane handed to Air Tanzania.
