BURLINGTON, Vt.—The Federal Aviation Administration says it's concerned that the city of Burlington may have improperly allocated airport revenue.

In a letter to Burlington Mayor Bob Kiss and interim director of the Burlington International Airport, the FAA says it has started a review of the payments made to South Burlington for services that may be ineligible or prohibited by FAA regulations. The Burlington Free Press also says the city may have been overpaying Burlington's public works department to operate the airport parking garage.

The FAA is seeking airport ledgers, tax bills, invoices, and copies of contracts from the airport dating back to 2005.
