Appeals Court Blocks HTO Restriction
The court finds that East Hampton must comply with federal laws regarding the imposition of local airport noise restrictions.

In a ruling that solidifies federal pre-emption over airport access restrictions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit today agreed to a preliminary injunction blocking nighttime curfews and other access restrictions at East Hampton Airport (HTO). The ruling comes about a month after the town of East Hampton had issued a series of criminal summonses to a number of Part 135 and 91 operators for alleged noise and curfew violations at HTO.
