American Airlines Flies WW2 Vets To 80th-Anniversary D-Day Ceremony

American Airlines has announced it flew almost 70 WW2 veterans to the 80th anniversary D-Day Ceremony. This announcement comes soon after USDOT has been naming and shaming major US-based airlines for not committing to the “Support Our Troops” benefits. Major US airlines say this is unfair as they offer a range of service member benefits that are not listed by the USDOT dashboard. In February, it was reported that rival airline Delta Air Lines would be flying 60 WW2 veterans to the D-Day ceremony.
