American Eagle Airlines will pay a $US900,000 ($882,000) fine for tarmac delays, the first such penalty and the largest of its kind in US history, the government said yesterday.

American Eagle violated rules that impose a three-hour limit on tarmac delays on domestic flights, on 15 flights on one day in May at the Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Department of Transportation (DOT) said.

"This is the first fine for a violation of the department's rule, which took effect in April 2010, setting a three-hour limit for tarmac delays on domestic flights," the department said in a statement.

"It also represents the largest penalty to be paid by an airline in a consumer protection case not involving civil rights violations."

American Eagle is a regional carrier of AMR Corporation, parent of American Airlines.
