Other airports have stricter expense rules
By Jennifer Dixon

The Wayne County Airport Authority allows senior executives to travel and
entertain with little oversight. Executives also can expense meals when
dining together, and there is no limit on conferences they can attend.

Other airports are more strict:

. The Denver mayor's office reviews and approves in advance all travel
requests by Denver International Airport employees.

. Employees of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority in Tennessee must
have expense reports reviewed and approved by a supervisor. The chief
executive officer's travel must be approved by the board chairman, and the
chairman's expenses must be approved by the chief executive or executive
vice president of finance.

. Employees of the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport who expense meals
must list who attended and the business purpose, and explain if they exceed
meal limits. The airport's CEO must have travel expenses approved by the
board chairman.

. The commission that runs the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport
requires all employees and commission members to submit written travel
requests. Out-of-town travel must be approved even for the executive
director and commission members.

. The Miami-Dade County Aviation Department pays for employees to attend one
trade or industry conference a year, and they must disclose if they're
combining business with vacation. Air travel must be from Miami's airport.
