FAA rules in favor of Key West International Airport on three of four counts after AOPA complaint. Key West International Airport

Key Takeaways:

  • The FAA largely sided with Key West International Airport (KEYW) in response to an AOPA complaint, rejecting claims of FBO pricing and ramp access violations.
  • However, the FAA did find KEYW non-compliant with its grant obligations for failing to provide an area where aircraft owners could self-service their planes.
  • This ruling follows similar AOPA complaints against other airports with single FBOs, with varied outcomes, including one complaint being withdrawn after an airport changed its policies.

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.
