The FAA recently ruled in favor of Key West International Airport after conducting a review of the field’s only FBO in response to a complaint filed last year by AOPA about pricing practices and ramp access at KEYW.
Rejecting AOPA Complaint, FAA Rules in Favor of Key West International Airport
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA largely sided with Key West International Airport (KEYW) against an AOPA complaint regarding its sole FBO's pricing practices and ramp access.
- However, KEYW was found in violation of a grant obligation for not providing a self-service area for aircraft owners, an issue the FAA will address directly with the county.
- This decision follows similar AOPA complaints against other airports, with varying outcomes, including the rejection of a complaint against Asheville and the withdrawal of one against Waukegan after changes were made.
