Airlines cannot discriminate against air travelers because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or ancestry. States and local governments cannot block anyone from using a private airport for the same reasons.

(a) Persons in Air Transportation. An air carrier or foreign air carrier cannot treat a person unfairly during air travel because of that person's race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or ancestry. (b) Use of Private Airports. No matter what other laws say, no state or local government can stop anyone from using or fully enjoying a private airport in its area because of that person's race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or ancestry.
