Airports charge airlines to use runways and other facilities, and disputs over fees sometimes arise. In 1994, after a higly publicized dispute between Los Angeles International Airport and the airlines operating there, the Congress passed legislation establishing expedited procedures at the Department of Transportation (DOT) for handling fee disputes between airports and airlines. As requested, this report (1) describes how these fees are set, (2) explains DOT's role in resolving disputes between airports over these fees, and (3) discusses the formal disputes that have arisen over airport fees in the past 14 years.
