NBAA Reiterates Call for Court To Vacate SMO Accord
NBAA and a handful of other petitions argue that FAA failed to comply with federal noise, environmental and Surplus Property Act mandates.

As work continues on a runway-shortening project at Santa Monica Airport (SMO) in California, NBAA is continuing its legal battle, filing a final brief in federal court on its lawsuit over the long-term fate of the airport. Filed November 13 before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, the final brief by NBAA and a handful of local petitioners reiterates their call for the court to vacate a settlement agreement reached earlier this year between the city of Santa Monica and the FAA.
