Clarifies Airport Sponsor Responsibilities And What Communities Can Do
The FAA has issued guidance for pilots, FBOs, and airport sponsors in an online document titled “Q&As – FBO Industry Consolidation and Pricing Practices”. The document lays out a series of questions and answers addressing how federally funded airports should facilitate competition and transparency, as well as promote reasonable access and pricing. As a condition of receiving federal funding for development projects, airports must agree to protect public access to the airport by ensuring each FBO’s prices and fees are reasonable and not unjustly discriminatory.
