The Spokane, Washington, airport board sued the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to block its shutdown of air-traffic control operations at the city’s Felts Field as a result of agency budget cuts.
The airport’s board said the FAA notified it that the agency “will terminate contract air traffic control operations at Felts Field as early as April 7,” according to its petition for review filed March 25 in the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington.
