German-based Hahn Air Lines and its U.S. subsidiary agreed to pay $26.8 million to settle alleged violations of the False Claims Act over knowingly failing to provide remittance for travel fees it collected from commercial airline passengers flying into or within the United States.
Hahn Air and Minneapolis-based Hahn Air USA will pay approximately $18.3 million in federal restitution, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a settlement agreement dated Feb. 9. The airline was credited about $16 million for previous remittance, bringing the total owed to the government to about $10.7 million.
