Court Permits HTO Curfews, Tosses Operational Limits
The U.S. District Court called the access limits for East Hampton Airport drastic, but did not find adequate reason to block curfews.

A federal court cleared the way for nighttime curfews to take effect July 2 at East Hampton Airport (HTO) in New York, but blocked implementation of access limitations for “noisy” aircraft. Airport advocates had filed a lawsuit against the town of East Hampton to block recently adopted operational restrictions for HTO: an 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew for all aircraft, an 8 p.m. to 9 a.m. curfew for “noisy" aircraft and a limit of two “uses” per week for noisy aircraft between May 1 and October 31.
