Major air carriers challenge ruling on Biden airline fee rules

WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - Major air carriers on Friday challenged a U.S. appeals court ruling in January that found the Transportation Department has authority to write airline fee disclosure rules.

A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the Biden administration's 2024 rule requiring upfront disclosure of airline service fees from taking effect, saying the Transportation Department had not complied with procedural rules but said the department had authority to write rules to address "unfair or deceptive practices being conducted by airlines."

American Airlines AAL.O, United Airlines UAL.O, Delta Air Lines DAL.N, trade group Airlines for America and others challenged asked the full appeals court to reconsider the ruling, saying the rule would "upend the way airlines interact with their customers, at great cost, and with no demonstrated benefit."
