Lawmakers tell airlines to share ancillary fees data

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Aviation Subcommittee conducted a hearing on July 14 to discuss the impact of U.S. airlines ancillary fees on business travelers. The committee made it clear to the airlines to share and clarify those fees with their distribution channels, or face the consequence of tough new congressional rules and mandates forcing them to do so. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigated the airlines ancillary fees which continue to proliferate unabated. The GAO reported that based on its findings, they determined that the airlines are unlikely to cooperate with the fee information unless they are compelled to do so.
