Major US airlines sue USDOT over new rule requiring fee disclosure alongside airfare prices.

Major US airlines, including American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Hawaiian, and Alaska Air, are suing the US Transportation Department (USDOT) over a new rule that requires airlines to disclose service fees alongside airfare prices.
