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) regarding a complaint filed by AOPA concerning its sole FBO's pricing and ramp access practices.
- While the FAA found no violations in pricing or control of transient parking, it determined that KEYW was non-compliant by failing to provide an area for aircraft owners to self-service their airplanes.
- This ruling is part of AOPA's broader efforts against single-FBO airports, which have seen mixed results, including a rejected complaint against Asheville Regional Airport and a withdrawn complaint against Waukegan National Airport after policy changes.
