ATA Blasts LAX Authorities for Arbitrary Airport Rental Rate Increase

The Air Transport Association of America (ATA) has issued the following statement in response to the Los Angeles City Council's decision to allow LAX to raise airport rental rates:

"We are extremely disappointed that LAX today was given authority to arbitrarily raise airline terminal rates and we question the legality of this unjustified action. The 'so-called' negotiations that led to this increase were not conducted with candor and in good faith. There was no sincere effort to reach agreement on fair and reasonable rental rates," said ATA President and CEO James C. May (pictured, right).

"Unlike other airports where airlines have been able to work cooperatively on improvement programs, LAX has demonstrated that it has no interest in a long-term rational business partnership with the airlines. What now is an adversarial relationship can only negatively impact airline customers and their experience by further delaying the much needed modernization of this antiquated facility."
