Major U.S. Airlines Sue Biden Admin Over 'Junk Fees' Disclosure Rule

May 13, 2024, 04:07 PM

Several major U.S. airlines, including Delta, American, and United, along with a prominent lobbying group, have initiated a lawsuit against the U.S. Transportation Department. The legal action challenges a new regulation that mandates the upfront disclosure of certain airline fees. This lawsuit comes in the wake of the Biden administration's efforts to clamp down on what are often referred to as 'junk fees.' These airlines, which received significant government bailouts in 2020, are now contesting this move towards increased government oversight.
