WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - Major air carriers on

Friday challenged a U.S. appeals court ruling in January that

found the Transportation Department has authority to write

airline fee disclosure rules.

A three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

blocked the Biden administration's 2024 rule requiring upfront

disclosure of airline service fees from taking effect, saying

the Transportation Department had not complied with procedural

rules but said the department had authority to write rules to

address "unfair or deceptive practices being conducted by

airlines."

American Airlines ( AAL ), United Airlines, Delta

Air Lines ( DAL ), trade group Airlines for America and others

challenged asked the full appeals court to reconsider the

ruling, saying the rule would "upend the way airlines interact

with their customers, at great cost, and with no demonstrated

benefit."
