Airlines Sue Biden Administration Over New Fee Disclosure Rule

A coalition of major airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, has filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration over a new rule mandating the upfront disclosure of airline fees. The lawsuit, filed against the Department of Transportation (DOT), challenges the requirement for airlines and ticket agents to clearly disclose service fees alongside the advertised airfare.

The airlines argue that they already provide comprehensive fee information to consumers and contend that the new rule will cause unnecessary confusion. They assert that the existing disclosure practices are sufficient and that the new regulations will complicate the booking process. . .
