Santa Monica loses another round in effort to close its airport
The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday rejected an appeal by Santa Monica to overturn a recent FAA decision that required the city’s embattled airport to remain open at least until 2023. (www.latimes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The headline is confusing. If the airport doesn't shut down, the city wins.
They're too stupid to know it!
I fly out of there. It's a great little airport and is in a great location. Greedy developers want the land.
Yeah and the money that they are going to make out of Hotels and Apartment buildings. Closing down the airport would create even more traffic!
OMG thank you. I live in Santa Monica and I plan to get my PPL there. If it closes the nearest airport would be 45 minutes away :(
GOOD, wait... GREAT news, just south in Orange County we voted to move the current SNA to El Toro Marine Base, and enable not only larger aircraft, but an increase in daily operations - yet somehow local residents were able to overturn it. They doomed ALL future generations, and growth to the limited SNA. You picked a home close to a KNOWN airport, and then you don't like it?
Just because Chicago's Mayor bulldozed Meigs Field away in the middle of the night does everyone thinks they have a chance at this?, the homes around LAX are still highly valuable and residents move in or out of the area knowing it will never change. Besides Harrison needs a place that's close to the house..

Knowing the enterprise of government and business it's easy games. Calculate the thickness of runways and taxiways to be recycled for resale back to the government as high-grade asphalt for roads or other runways. Disregard tax payers paid for it and sell it right back. Around 2013 over half a million of asphalt was put in there for just apron repair and improvement. Big bucks just sitting there to be scooped up and sold.
