A4A CEO discusses industry transparency, competition

In an interview on the Today Show, A4A President and CEO Nicholas Calio dismissed the need for government regulation, explaining that US airlines clearly outline all ticket fees on their websites in an effort to both compete in the marketplace and ensure transparency for consumers. “Our carriers are so fiercely competitive, it’s unbelievable,” Calio said. An A4A statement also added that airlines “are committed to providing the highest quality of service, which includes clarity regarding prices, fees and ticket terms.”
