What fee established in 2001 to pay for increased security measures?

• A. Airport surcharge
• B. Fuel surcharge
• C. Service charge
• D. Security fee

Answer: (D)

A fee was created specifically to fund the enhanced security measures that were put in place after 9/11. This charge appears on tickets as a security-related cost and is dedicated to paying for higher security measures like screenings and other TSA enhancements. It’s different from other charges: an airport surcharge covers airport facilities, a fuel surcharge reflects fuel costs, and a general service charge covers routine service. Because this fee is purpose-built to cover security improvements, it’s identified as the security fee.
