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) 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similar AOPA complaints against other airports with single FBOs, with varied outcomes, including one complaint being withdrawn after an airport changed its policies.
