Rejecting AOPA Complaint, FAA Rules in Favor of Key West International Airport

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) 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.

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.
