Airlines win (for now) as court blocks DOT rule

Major airlines in the United States are suing the Department of Transportation (DOT) over its new rule requiring carriers to be transparent over so-called “junk fees.” 

American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, JetBlue, Hawaiian Airlines, and Alaska Airlines, along with lobbying group Airlines for America filed a suit against the DOT, asking an appeals court to overturn the rule, Reuters reported. The airlines argue the rule would confuse passengers and its "attempt to regulate private business operations in a thriving marketplace is beyond its authority."
