Let M_α be a bilinear fractional maximal operator and BM_α be a fractional maximal operator associated with the bilinear Hilbert transform. In this paper, the compactness on weighted Lebesgue spaces are considered for commutators of bilinear fractional maximal operators; these commutators include the fractional maximal linear commutators M^j_α,β and BM^j_α,β (j = 1, 2), the fractional maximal iterated commutator ${\mathcal{M}}_{{\alpha},{\vec{b}}}$, and $BM_{{\alpha},{\vec{b}}}$, where b ∈ BMO(ℝ^d) and ${\vec{b}}\;=\;(b_1,b_2)\;{\in}\;BMO({\mathbb{R}}^d)\;{\times}\;BMO({\mathbb{R}}^d)$. In particular, we improve the well-known results to a larger scale for 1/2 < q < ∞ and give positive answers to the questions in [2].
