FAA Seeks Injunction Against KHTO Restrictions
The FAA tells the U.S. District Court an injunction would provide it time to determine the legality of the KHTO restrictions.

The FAA is asking a federal court to issue a temporary restraining order against the implementation of new noise restrictions at the East Hampton Airport (KHTO) in New York, while the agency and the court review the legality of the restrictions. The U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York has scheduled a May 14 hearing on the potential injunction in response to the lawsuit filed by airport backers, including the Friends of East Hampton Airport, Helicopter Association International and NBAA. Airport backers also have filed suit to compel the FAA to ensure the restrictions comply with federal laws.
