American Eagle Airlines has been fined $6,300 for safety violations following an accident that killed a baggage handler at Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
Fleet Service Clerk Lufuluabo Kalonji died in July while working on a ramp. Airline officials say the accident involved a plane and a baggage tug, but they didn't provide details. Clerks work on the ramp, load bags and perform other similar tasks.
The state Department of Labor fined the Texas-based airline on Tuesday. The citation accuses the company of failing to make sure
employees underwent proper training to operate industrial trucks.
It also says an industrial truck didn't have a shift indicator.
Kalonji is survived by his wife and a young daughter.
