To provide air transportation passengers access to and information concerning ground transportation services, to amend the Clayton Act to prohibit certain activities by local governments that operate airports, to prohibit airports from charging unreasonable and unjustly discriminatory access fees, and for other purposes.
Ground Transportation Consumer Protection Act of 1989 - Declares the rights of air passengers: (1) to information about ground transportation services at airports; and (2) to access to courtesy vehicles if they are customers of off-airport operators (including rental vehicle, parking lot, hotel, amusement park, or other business).
Authorizes an airport operator to charge a fee to off-airport operators provided it is reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and related to the use of the roadways and facilities built primarily to meet the operator's special needs.
Amends the Clayton Act to make it unlawful for any city or governmental unit operating an airport that receives Federal assistance or issues tax-exempt airport improvement bonds to impose an unreasonable discriminatory fee on non-tenant, non-aeronautical commercial users of such airport where the effect of the fee substantially lessens competition or tends to create a monopoly in any line of commerce.
